Johnson Defends Title ... Barely
March 7, 1905
Jack Johnson (18-1) won a SD15 over #5 James Corbett (16-5-2) in a very boring fight. Corbett suffered a bloody nose in the 4th, other than that there was no action at all. Corbett landed 43.9% of his punches, Johnson 43.1%.
I had the fight 144-142. Tom Trunzo ringside had it 142-143. The judges had it 142-143/145-140/144-143.

WW - Al Neill UD10 Jack Bennett
LW - Ed Connolly UD6 Young Joseph (both fighters are beginners)
