Choynski Wins First Title Defense

Febuary 5, 1906

Joe Choynski (19-7) won his first title defense with a TKO8 over #4 Mike McCoole (8-8). McCoole, a surprising #4 ranked LHW, was overmatched from the start. He stayed close in the first two rounds then Choynski took over and punished him for the next 6 rounds.

McCoole never went down but was losing rounds by lopsided margins and was bleeding from a 5th round cut under his left eye when the bout was stopped late in the 8th.

Both Danny Wildhawke (ringside) and I had it 69-65 at the time of the stoppage.

On the undercard

LHW - Jack Sullivan (12-10-1) MD10 George Gardner (12-7-1)
FW - Marty McCue (5-8) UD10 Martin Flaherty (2-3-2)
WW - Tommy West (2-0) KO2 Eric Hill (TC) (0-1) (West fought as a beginner in this club fight)
BW - Billy Rotchford (3-3) UD6 Stuart Maxx (TC) (0-2) (Rotchford fought as a beginner in this club fight)
HW - Fred Crossley (8-12-1) TKO2 Con Coughlin (5-17) (club fight)
