December 30th, 1907

Watty Austin (10-8-1) gave champ Owen Moran (20-5-3) all he could handle in April before losing a UD15. This time Austin pulled off the upset winning a MD15.

Austin came out fast and finished strong to win the decision. Moran was dropped in the first round, but got up to drop Austin in the 4th.

Moran controlled the middle rounds but then lost the last 5 rounds to lose the fight.

I had it 144-141. Walt Arnold ringside had it 145-140. The official judges had it 144-140/142-142/144-141.

On the undercard

WW - Jack Britton (12-2-1) UD10 Mike Sullivan (10-12-4)
HW - Jack Burns (11-4) UD10 Hank Griffin (12-6-2)
LHW - Mike McCoole (10-10-2) UD10 Jack Graham (7-5)
HW - Peter Courtney (8-1) KO1 Mick Dooley (7-20-1) (Courtney fought at pp for this club fight, moves to main division with the win)
WW - Owen Ziegler (7-14) TKO6 Billy Devine (4-14-3) (club fight)
