Herrera Wins Tough Match
February 26, 1906
Aurelio Herrera (9-2) won an UD10 over cagey veteran Joe Bowker (10-12-6). Bowker stepping up to FW for this bout didn't seem to lose an of his ability.
It was a fight with alot of close rounds. At least 4 rounds were with 2 points of each other. Herrera suffered a cut on his mouth in the first round, but still took the round. Herrera dropped Bowker for a 6 count in the 3rd. Bowker's nose started bleeding in the 8th.
I had the fight 98-94 Herrera. I have a tendancy to call rounds even though. Christopher Almodovar at ringside had it 98-92. The official judges had it 97-92/98-92/97-92.
