RYAN WINS FOUL PLAGUED TITLE DEFENSE
Tommy Ryan (16-0) won his 3rd title defense with a UD15 over Joe Walcott (6-6-3). It was an ugly foul-plagued fight with both fighters recieving numerous point deductions. Without a stat to back it up I recall numerous of Walcott's loses being due to point deductions.
The fight was close for the first 5 rounds. Ryan took over then and only lost one more round the rest of the way. He was penalized in the 7th and 13th. Walcott was penalized in the 5th, 9th, and 13th. Walcott was also dropped for a 9 count in the 14th round.
I had it 145-135. Jim Trunzo ringside had it 146-134. The official judges had it 145-135/144-136/145-135.
On the undercard
HW - John Haines KO8 Joe Goddard
MW - Jack Dempsey UD10 Edward Rollins (Rollins will drop to the club ranks)
LW - Harry Gilmore TKO3 Kid Farmer
MW - Bill Slavin UD6 Dick Moore (more still a begginer and looking like he'll never get out of the club ranks at 0-4 )
LW - Charles McCarthy KO5 Kid McPartland (club fight)
