RYAN RUNS RECORD TO 14-0 WITH FIRST DEFENSE

Tommy Ryan (14-0) dominated his first title defense on the way to 12th round TKO over Paddy Duffy (4-6-2) who due to lack of competition in the Welterweight division right now was rated #3.

Ryan dropped Duffy with a left hook in the 4th round. He continued to punish Duffy throughout the fight and Duffy's right-eye started to swell in the 6th. By the 12th he couldn't see anything out of it and the referee stopped the fight.

Ryan was pitching a shutout on every scorecard. After the fight Ryan stated that he would defend his title 3 more times then try his hand at the middleweight division.

On the undercard

WW - Honey Mellody UD10 Harry Lewis
MW - Jack Burke TKO3 Dan Creedon
MW - John P. Clow KO3 George Rooke
BW - Tommy Feltz UD10 Johnny Reagen
LW - Mike Daly TKO9 Kid McPartland (club)
