June 16, 1908

Johnny Coulon (17-2) scored a TKO7 over #1 George Dixon (24-7) for his first defense of the LBC Bantamweight title.

Dixon was ahead on the score cards when the bout was stopped in the 7th. He had lost the 3rd round fairly lopsidedly when Coulon staggered him midway through the round then poured it on. That round caused his right eye to start swelling.

Dixon got hit with a shot early in the 7th which opened a cut over his swollen right eye and blood was streaming into the eye, which caused the ref to stop the fight.

I had Dixon ahead at the time 59-56. Ringside expert, Jaret Morgan, had it 58-56, also for Dixon.
