December 20th, 1905

#2 Harry Lyons (18-8) pulled off a stunning and decisive UD15 over champ Abe Attell (21-5-1) to win the LBA Featherweight Championship.

Lyons won the first round and then Attell had a monster second, which started Lyons right eye swelling. In the past this is where Attell has taken over and worked the swollen eye into a huge decision. It was not to be on this night, however. Lyons came out strong in the 3rd and swelled up Attell's left eye in the 4th.

Lyons went on to control the next several rounds and built up a huge lead that was to much for Attell to overcome. Attell battled back but it was too little too late.

I scored the bout 145-140. Dan Cuoco at ringside had it 144-140. The official judges had it 144-141/146-139/144-141.

On the undercard

HW - Tommy Burns (10-3-1) KO4 Sam Langford (10-4-1)(Sam finishes his horrible year with a 0-3-1 record for 1905)
HW - Frank Childs (13-10-2) KO9 Denver Ed Martin (10-9)
WW - Jack Britton (4-1) MD6 Billy Gardner (2-11-1) (Britton fought as a beginner in this club bout, moves to pre-prime and up to the main division with the win)
HW - Tony Ross (2-2) UD6 John McDermont (8-11-2) (Ross fought as a beginner in this club bout)
HW - Denver Ed Smith (8-13-1) DRAW10 John Ferguson (9-13-1) (club fight)
