June 1908 title fights
Four title fights scheduled for June with the first ever unification bout. Remember I changed the rules so that there is a 25% chance that the bout is a unification bout if two champs are fighting in the same month.
WW - (LBC) Peter Jackson (16-2) vs #5 Dixie Kid (15-11-5) (Jackson beat Kid to win the title in August of 1908, Jackson won by UD15)
LW - (UT, LBA/LBC) Jack McAuliffe (25-5-2) vs Battling Nelson (17-12) (McAulliffe goes in as a heavy favorite having won twice over Nelson with neither fight going the distance)
BW - (LBC) Johnny Coulon (16-2) vs #1 George Dixon (24-6) (first meeting)
BW - (LBA) Terry McGovern (27-5-2) vs. #16 Billy Plimmer (17-11-4) (Plimmer has lost to McGovern twice, the last time for the title which sent Plimmer into a tailspin that saw him lose 6 straight fights and drop to 20th in the rankings. Plimmer has since won two in a row)
