October 27th, 1904

Owen Moran (13-1-1) scored a 7th round TKO over #5 Casper Leon (8-7-3) for his first defense of his LBA Bantamweight title.

It was a close fight that saw Moran get knocked down for the first time in his career in the 2nd round. Leon kept the pressure on through the first 5 rounds.

Moran turned it on in the 6th and had Leon on the ropes when the bell sounded. The 7th picked up where the 6th left off and Moran waled away on the defenseless Leon until the ref stepped in with 4 seconds left in the round.

Leon to his credit never went down. I had it 55-57 at the time of the stoppage. Mark Moe ringside had it 58-58. The judges had it 56-57/56-57/57-58.

On the undercard

MW - George LaBlance UD10 Mike Donovan
LHW - Jim Hall TKO1 Charlie O' Donnell (Hall stepping up to LHW for the win)
HW - Nick Burley KO1 Con Coughlin (Burley Pre-prime in this club fight)
LW - Dave Holly DRAW Solly Smith (Smith stepped up in weight for this club fight)
BW - Patsy Haley UD10 Frankie Neil (club fight)
