I am going to list the before and after rankings now on the fight cards listed as (before/after) all rankings will be the LBA rankings unless it's a title fight for another organization.

June 13, 1909

Jack Johnson (34-1) scored a UD15 over (6/11) Sam Langford (20-6-1) to extend his record to 21 straight title defenses.

Johnson got into a little trouble in the middle rounds but for the most part controlled the fight with his superior defense. Johnson won the first 5 rounds and then the 9th through the 14th, to win an easy decision.

Langford knocked Johnson down with a solid right in the 8th, Johnson battled back to knock down Langford in the 11th.

Johnson landed 50.1% of his punches to Langford's 24.8%.

I had the fight 145-139. Ringside expert, Darryl Woodford, had it 145-140. The official judges had it 145-140/144-140/145-141.

On the undercard

HW - Frank Slavin (43/42) (21-13-1) KO4 Jim Jeffords (12/13) (10-13) (jeffords stepped up from LHW for this bout)
MW - George Rooke (17/14) (15-15-1) UD10 Walter Coffey (UR) (8-3)
HW - Billy Wilson (56/49) (14-17-1) KO4 Ed Martin (28/44) (17-15)
MW - Bill Fleming (UR) (8-0) TKO3 Ned McCann (UR) (5-2) (both fighters at pp for this club fight)
LW - Johnny Clark (UR) (8-3-2) SD8 Billy Edwards (club) (15-20-4) (clark at pp for this club fight)
