Gans Wins Another Yawnfest
April 16th, 1906
Joe Gans (22-1-1) scored a UD15 over #4 Jem Carney (14-9) in a snoozer. Gans dominated the pace and the fight from the outset. Only two rounds were close, the 2nd and the 15th.
Carney's left eye began to swell in the 11th, other than that no cuts or knockdowns.
I had it 149-137. Darryl Woodford ringside had it 147-141. The official judges had it 148-138/150-136/147-139.
