August 1, 1907

John L. Sullivan (25-5) scored a KO7 over #5 Tommy Burns (15-5-1) for his second defense of his LBF title.

Burns was a game fighter but Sullivan was just too strong for him. Burns won the 1st and the 3rd round, but then was dropped in the 4th. He spent the 5th and 6th rounds backing up and then was dropped for good in the 7th.

John Donaldson (10-5) scored a TKO5 over #1 Joe Choynski (22-9-1) to win his first title defense of the LBA lightheavyweight crown.

Donaldson won the 1st and the 3rd rounds, but was knocked down in the second. He also had a bloody nose, that occurred in the 2nd also.

Donaldson opened a nasty cut over the left eye of Choynski in the 5th, and after consulting with the ring doctor, the referee stopped the fight.

Joe Thomas looks promising. How many of his wins are by KO?

Only 4, Klaus was his first big win. His second win in the main division, with his other coming against 4 rated LHW Morris Harris.

August 15, 1907

Abe Attell (28-5-1) scored a KO15 over #1 Aurelio Herrera (11-5) for his second defense of the LBC Featherweight title.

Herrera continues his trouble against boxers with 4 out of his 5 losses coming against Attell and Griffo. His 5th loss was against Jem Driscoll. He just can't seem to get a power shot in on a guy who want stand right in front of him.

Attell dominated this fight from the opening bell. He opened a cut under Aurelio's left eye in the first which also caused that left eye to begin swelling. Herrera suffered a cut under his right eye in the 4th.

Attell scored a knockdown in the 6th. Herrera was cut over the right eye in the 7th and then knocked down for good in the 15th.

I had the fight 138-129 for Attell at the time of the stoppage.

It's back to the drawing board for Aurelio.

On the undercard

BW - Johnny Coulon (14-1) UD10 Billy Rotchford (8-6)

August 21, 1907

Charles McCoy (18-7-3) scored a 8th round KO of #7 Harris Martin (16-12-4) for his first defense of his LBC Middleweight Title.

The fight started off bad for Martin and went downhill from there. He suffered a cut under his left eye in the 2nd, under his right eye in the 4th, and over his right eye in the 7th.

He was knocked down in the 7th and then out in the 8th.

I had it 69-63 at the end of 7.

August 24, 1907

Terry McGovern (25-5-2) was pitching a shutout on all the cards against #2 Casper Leon (12-11-4) when the fight was stopped in the 13th.

McGovern dominated from the opening bell. Leon started carrying his hands low in the 3rd. His left eye started swelling in the 4th, his right eye in the 7th, and he was knocked down in the 11th. There was only 2 rounds that McGovern didn't score at least 20 points.

The fight was stopped at the start of the 13th, because both of Leon's eyes were nearly swollen shut.

It was McGovern's 2nd title defense.

On the undercard

WW - Joe Walcott (16-10-3) SD10 Dal Hawkins (9-5-1)
HW - Sam McVey (17-4) KO4 Billy Woods (7-10-2)

September 13, 1907

Peter Jackson (13-3) scored a TKO6 over #1 Joe Gans (24-2-2) for his 3rd LBC Welterweight defense. This denied Gans the chance to become the second fighter to win the title at two weight classes, and was only Gans 2nd defeat.

The fight was close until a nasty cut stopped the fight in the 6th. Jackson was cut under his right eye in the first. Each round was close.

At the time of the stoppage I had 49-48 Jackson. The official judges had it 49-47/49-47/48-48, in favor of Jackson.

On the undercard

September 17, 1907

Owen Moran (20-4-3) will think twice about stepping up to the FW division as journeyman Billy Finucane (6-7-1) pounded him on the way to a UD10.

Moran was down twice in this fight. He will not lose his BW title.

**note** weight adjusted fight

September 21, 1907

Trailing on all scorecards, knocked down once, both eyes swollen and bleeding from his mouth, Tommy Ryan (29-0) battled back to score a TKO11 over #2 Jack Dempsey (30-4).

Dempsey battered Ryan for most of the fight. He caused both of Ryan's eyes to start swelling in the first, cut Ryan's lip in the 3rd and dropped him in the 8th.

The 8th round, however, is where Ryan turned the fight around. He was pounding Dempsey when a right hook dropped Tommy, and ended up the round with more points. He then won the 9th. He won the 10th convincingly. Then dropped Dempsey early in the 11th. Dempsey was out on the ropes when the ref stopped it with :30 left in the round.

After 10 I had Dempsey up 98-93.

On the undercard

BW - Tommy Kelly (13-11-2) KO3 Jimmy Walsh (5-7-3)
