Jackson dominates Sullivan in rematch
March 22, 1908
Peter Jackson (27-5) scored a UD15 over #1 John L. Sullivan (25-7) to retain his LBF Heavyweight title.
Sullivan was never in this fight as he was battered and knocked down throughout the fight. Jackson caused Sullivan's left eye to swell in the first and Sullivan never got back on track.
Sullivan suffered a cut lip in the 3rd and a cut below his left eye in the 10th.
Jackson dropped Sullivan in the 9th, 11th, and 14th.
Both Darryl Woodford, ringside expert, and myself scored the bout 148-135. The official judges had it 147-135/146-135/147-134.
