Late Rally Falls Short
February 18, 1905
Abe Attell (18-4-1) built a solid lead then held on to win a UD15 over #4 Jem Driscoll (17-5). This was Attell's 2nd defense since regaining the title 7 months ago.
Driscoll started fast winning the first two rounds solidly. Attell dropped Driscoll early in the 3rd round and changed the momentum of the fight. Attell dominated the next 8 rounds losing only the 6th. Driscoll came storming back at the end of the fight winning 3 of the last 4 rounds but it wasn't enough to sway the judges.
Other than the KD in the 3rd, there were no other KD's, cuts or swellings. I had the fight 144-141. The same with all 3 official judges. Mark Moe ringside had it 145-141.
On the undercard
HW - Bob Armstrong UD10 Joe Coburn
LHW - Mike Donovan UD10 Patsy Cardiff (Donovan stepping up in weight for the win)
LHW - Jack Williams SD6 Fred Robinson (Williams stepping up in weight for this club win)
FW - Kid Broad MD6 Joe Bernstein (Broad was a beginner in this club fight)
FW - Solly Smith UD10 Torpedo Billy Murphy (Smith moves back up to the main group with this win)
