Attell Wins Snoozefest Over Griffo
November 25, 1904
Abe Attell (17-4-1) won a UD15 over #1 Young Griffo (15-4-2) for his 1st title defense since retaking the crown.
Attell dominated defensively from the start and won easily. His game plan worked and he never gave into the boos that wanted him to mix it up.
Griffo suffered a slight cut over his right eye in the 3rd, but other than that both fighters looked none the worse for wear after the fight.
I had it 146-141. Dan Cuoco, ringside, had it 145-141. The official judges had it 144-141/145-140/147-141.
On the undercard
MW - Hugo Kelly UD10 John P. Clow
FW - Marty McCue UD10 Clarence Forbes
LW - Dave Holly MD6 Gil Goulette (Holly fought as a beginner and Goulette stepped up in weight for this club fight)
HW - Tug Wilson SD10 Dan Hickey (club fight)
BW - Joe Bowker MD10 Austin Rice (club fight)
