Johnson Batters Mitchell For 11th Defense

October 6th, 1906

Jack Johnson (22-1) scored a UD15 over #2 Charley Mitchell (19-6) to retain the LBA title.

Johnson set the tone of the fight quickly, dropping Mitchell in the first. He bloodied Mitchell's nose in the 4th and dropped him again in the 6th. Mitchell started carrying his hands low in the 8th and his right eye started to swell due to a cut in the 9th. Johnson put it on cruise control from there and coasted to an easy victory.

I had it 148-137. Walt Arnold, ringside, had it 147-138. The official judges had it 148-136/149-137/147-138.

On the undercard

HW - Ed Dunkhurst (14-12-2) MD10 Steve Taylor (9-13)
HW - Mike Brennan (11-13) KO7 Jack Graham (6-2) (Graham fought as a HW in this loss)
WW - Tommy West (6-0) TKO 2 Drazen Basic (TC) (0-3) (West fought pre-prime in this club fight)
HW - Syd Hughes (4-6-1) KO6 Oliver Williams (3-2-1) (Williams fought as a beginner in this club fight)
WW - Billy Devine (3-11-3) SD10 harry Lewis (3-10-1) (club fight)
