Dixon handles Cohen

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

October 28, 1909

George Dixon (CH) (28-7-1) survived an early scare and the knocked around challenger Cockney Cohen (20/23) (8-7-2) to score a UD15 and defend his WBC Bantamweight Title for the second time.

Cohen landed a perfect combination in the first round that almost won him the title. Dixon dropped like a bag of rocks and barely made it to his feet for the 9 count. Cohen pummeled him the rest of the round but didn't have enough time to finish him.

Dixon then took over the fight losing no more round the rest of the way, only losing a point for a foul in the 6th.

Cohen went to the canvas once in the 8th, once in the 10th, twice in the 14th and once in the 15th. But Dixon wasn't able to finish him off and Cohen went the distance.

I had it 147-134. Tom Trunzo, ringside expert, scored it 147-135. The official judges scored it 146-132/146-134/146-132. ** see note #1 at the bottom.

On the undercard

FW - Will Curley (11/8) (11-7-3) UD10 Jerry Barnett (UR) (8-5) (Barnett at pre)
LH - Bob McAllister (UR) (10-0) UD10 John Donaldson (9/7) (14-10) (mcallister at pre) **see note #2 at bottom
FW - Oscar Gardner (5/3) (14-4-1) UD10 Jimmy Dime (UR/16) (10-5) (dime at pre)
HW - Denver Ed Martin (53/44) (18-15) UD10 Jim Harvey (48/59) (9-6-1) (harvey at pre)
FW - Marty McCue (club/9) (13-13-1) UD8 Patsy Kline (UR) (6-2-1) (kline at pre, mccue at post for this club fight, Mccue moves back to the main division with the win)

That concludes the month of October. A couple of notes on this fight card

Note #1 ... While the title fight did seem like a mismatch Cohen fought Dixon twice IRL and beat him once despite only finishing with a 2-9 record.

Note #2 ... I misplaced Bob McAllister in the 3rd spot of a fight card ... for Chris from now on he will be treated like Herrera is for Javier, so he will always be the main bout on the card and will always have a write up. The only exception is if he is to fight a TC.
