January 17, 1906

Joe Butler (19-4-1) won a MD15 over Jack Burke (16-7-3) to win the first LBC middleweight belt. This was the second attempt at crowning a LBC champ as these two fought to a draw in November.

Burke was cruising through the early rounds until an uppercut dropped him in the 5th. It was all Butler from then on. Burke's right eye began to swell shut in the 7th and Butler worked it the rest of the way.

I had it 145-139, Danny Wildhawke ringside had it 145-140. The official judges had it 145-139/143-141/ and Burke's personal assistant somehow had it 142-142.

On the undercard

WW - George Cole (2-3) SD10 Willie Lewis (9-9)
HW - Joe Jeannette (5-0) UD6 Jim Miles (5-14-3) (jeannette fought as a begginner in this club fight)
MW - Jack Williams (5-0) UD6 Dick Moore (0-13-1) (williams fought as a beginner in this club fight)
WW - Billy Gardner (2-11-2) DRAW10 George McFadden (3-2-1) (mcfadden fought as a beginner and stepped up to WW for this club fight)
FW - Oscar Gardner (5-0) KO3 Lloyd Davies (TC) (0-1) (gardner fought as a beginner in this club fight)
