Herrera rebounds from Griffo defeat
June 21, 1905
Aurelio Herrera (5-2) rebound from a UD loss to Young Griffo with a close UD win over Solly Smith (10-10-2). The veteran Smith almost pulled off the victory and many in the crowd thought he did.
A big difference was the point taken away from Smith in the 7th for excessive holding and hitting. It made the difference on the final score cards. The official judges had it 95-94, 96-94, 95-94.
I personally had Herrera losing 95-96. Herrera's handlers commented after the fight that Aurelio has fought 2 tough opponent's in a row and is better for it.
