MW- (LBC) Joe Butler (21-4-1) vs. #2 Dan Creedon (17-8) (Butler won a UD10 over Creedon in 7/00)
LW- (LBA) #5 Jack McAuliffe (21-4-2) vs. #1 Battling Nelson (13-11) (for the LBA title Gans is vacating. McAuliffe gets the bout because many felt he won the bout with Gans. McAuliffe scored a TKO9 over Nelson in 4/01)
FW - (LBC) #1 Abe Attell (25-5-1) vs. #2 Aurelio Herrera (10-3) (Herrera gets the nod to fight for the newely minted LBC title despite a loss to Griffo in his last fight)
BW - (LBC) #1 Owen Moran (17-3-3) vs #2 Johnny Coulon (11-0) (for the newely minted LBC title, might be the best of the bunch)

Also Young Griffo (21-4-3) will fight a non-title bout due to no qualified opponents.

#8 Morris Harris (6-6) scored a stunning KO4 over champ Joe Choynski (20-8-1) to win the LBA Lightheavyweight Championship.

Many came to the fight feeling Harris didn't deserve a shot at the title. He qualified by being ranked in the top ten and having won his last fight. As a matter of fact he had won his last 3.

Harris took the fight to Choynski from the opening bell, winning the first round. Choynski bounced back to take the second and the third but Harris was still clearly the aggressor. Choynski caught Harris early in round 4 and opened a cut under Harris's left eye.

Harris then caught Choynski with a vicious left hook dropping the champ for a ten count. The ref could've counted to 30 he wasn't getting up.

FW - (LBC) #1 Abe Attell (25-5-1) vs. #2 Aurelio Herrera (10-3) (Herrera gets the nod to fight for the newely minted LBC title despite a loss to Griffo in his last fight)

AURELIO!!
YOU MUST PREPARE VERY HARD FOR THIS FIGTH
ABE have mor experience that you, but iknow you have a Mexican Heart so you can beat him

[mh2365]

Attell worries me the same way Griffo did, a boxer. Boxers give Herrera problems. I'll be rooting for him.

[Brooks TVB]

I got Creeden pulling the upset over Butler. Attel should out box Herrerra also.

[mh2365]

I agree with Attell unfortunately ... but I think Butler will retain his title

[mh2365]

January 15th, 1907

#2 Dan Creedon (18-8) scored a TKO1 over champ Joe Butler (21-5-1) to win the LBC Middleweight title.

Creedon jumped on Butler from the opening bell. The ref gave Creedon a warning for a low blow, then Creedon landed two straight uppercuts to drop Butler. Butler got up only to be dropped again by a mean right hook.

Butler beat the count but the ref stopped the fight.

January 20th, 1907

#5 Jack McAuliffe (22-4-2) scored a KO4 over #1 Battling Nelson (13-12) to the vacant LBA Lightweight championship.

McAuliffe was too much for Nelson right from the opening bell. Winning round 1 and 3 easilly and round 2 was too close to call. McAuliffe was cut over his right eye in the 3rd and his corner failed to close the cut in the corner.

You could feel a sense of urgency in Jack starting the 4th and he moved in and caught Nelson with an uppercut that ended the fight.

January 25, 1907

#1 Abe Attell (26-5-1) scored a 2nd round KO of #2 Aurelio Herrera (10-4) to win the newly formed LBC Featherweight crown.

Herrera stormed Attell in the first repeatedly hurting Attell with bombs. With the success in the first round, Herrera's corner told him that he had the fight and to go for the KO in the second.

Herrera listened and let it all out landing two bombs right out of the corner, but he got careless and got hit with a left hook flush on the jaw and his night was over.

Herrera after the fight said he never saw the punch that hit him. The punch that an entire country felt. No title for Mexico.

BW - Dave Sullivan (1-0) UD10 Billy Plimmer (15-8-4)

That has to be one of the greatest upsets ever with a debutant defeating a former champ. Did you watch it, if so what happened???

[mh2365]

Not only did I watch it I was stunned also ... Plimmer never showed up for the fight, got knocked down 3 times ... Sullivan is a 7, Plimmer an 8, so on paper it's not that big of an upset also since he started out in the main division Sullivan started at prime, but it was a huge upset in my eye. here's the play by play
