Johnson handles Schreck for 18th defense
April 2, 1908
Jack Johnson (30-1) knocked out #6 Mike Schreck (18-13) for his continued record setting defense streak. The streak now stands at 18.
Schreck managed to stay in this one through 8 rounds. He fought on the outside and picked his shots. A cut over his right eye seemed to bother him in the 9th. Then in the 10th he got cut under his left eye.
Johnson then caught Schreck with an uppercut in the 11th that dropped him and he never got up.
I had it fairly close at 96-94 at the time of the KO.
