Coulon captures Bantamweight title.

April 14th, 1908

In what seemed like destiny #2 Johnny Coulon (16-2) finally captured a share of the Bantamweight title in his 3rd try, with a UD15 over LBC champ Watty Austin (10-9-1).

Coulon's boxing skills dominated this fight from the opening bell. Austin had a brief moment in the middle rounds including cutting Coulon's right eye in the 9th, but in the end Coulon was just too elusive for Watty to win.

I had it 145-141. Jaret R. Morgan ringside had it 146-140. The official judges had it 145-141/145-142/146-140.

On the undercard

MW - Jack Moffat (10-6) UD10 Charley Johnson (7-6-2)
WW - Kyle Whitney (11-2-1) UD10 Dal Hawkins (9-9-1)
HW - Al Kubiak (7-0) SD8 Dan Hickey (7-27-1) (Kubiak fought at pp for this club fight)
FW - Jerry Bennett (7-0) UD8 Fred Johnson (5-1) (both fighters at pp for this club fight)
LH - PJ Rentzler (10-15-3) UD10 Charlie O'Donnell (7-16-2) (club fight)
