Jem Driscoll (32-5) had no trouble putting both belts on the line in what he thought would be an easy bout against #2/#3 ranked Tommy White (9-6-2). Driscoll scored a UD15 that wasn't as close as the first half of the fight appeared to be.

Driscoll came out a little flat and split the first two rounds. Swelling around White's right eye started in the second and would be a problem in the late rounds. Driscoll was dropped for only the 4th time in his career in the 3rd round.

The two fighters split most of the middle rounds until the 10th when White's eye was pretty much swelled shut. The last 6 rounds Driscoll hit him at will and the fight should of been stopped (swelling turned red in each of the last 4 rounds) but White fought on gamely.

I had the fight 146-140. Mirco Mizera, ringside expert, had it 145-140. The official judges had it 143-140/145-139/144-140. All judges gave Driscoll the last 6 rounds.

On the undercard

HW - Sam McVey (23-5) UD10 Punch Vaughn (8-4)

FW - Jack Pearson (5-6-1) TKO7 Lew Ryall (7-5) (both fighters at pp for this club fight)
