February 17, 1906

George Lavigne (17-6-1) won a controversial TKO5 over Billy Meyer (17-3-3) for the LBC Lightweight title.

Meyer dominated the first four rounds even dropping Lavigne in the 4th. Lavigne hurt Meyer early in the 5th and continued pounding away while Meyer leaned against the ropes. Referee Frank Cappacino stopped the bout with 3 seconds left in the round. Meyer immediately jumped at the ref argueing the stoppage. His reaction proved he wasn't hurt at all just weathering the storm.

All sorts of things were thrown into the ring from the crowd who was chanting bull**** as loud as they could. The police had to escort Cappacino from the ring admist a melee between the two fighters corners.

It is almost certain the officials at the LBC office will demand a rematch.

On the undercard

HW - Mike Brennan (9-12) UD10 Joe Goss (8-1-1) (huge upset)
LHW - James Barry (1-0) SD6 Fred Robinson (5-13-4) (Barry fought as a beginner in this club bout)
FW - Kid Broad (4-1) UD6 Fred Baxter (TC) (0-1) (Broad fought as a beginner in this club bout)
HW - Henry Higgans (5-13) TKO8 Tom Hinch (5-14) (club bout)
