McCoy does just enough

I 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.


November 7, 1909

Charles McCoy (ch) (25-8-3) barely showed up tonight but it was just enough to get by with a TKO14 over game Joe Thomas (11/15) (13-4-3). It was McCoy's first defense of his WBC Middleweight title. It was also his 4th win in a row and his 10th out of his last 11.

McCoy came in "overtrained" and looked lethargic throughout the fight. He wasn't throwing many punches and when he did they were slow. He came out of the gate okay but once Thomas was still standing after 2, McCoy kinda coasted.

McCoy got dropped in the 5th and that didn't even wake him up. McCoy finally put together a good round in the 12th which caused Thomas's right eye to swell, but then let Thomas win the 13th.

With the score 124-124 on my card going into the 14th, McCoy finally decided he had enough and dropped Thomas. Then he finished him off on the ropes.

The official judges had it 124-124/124-124/123-124 at the time of the stoppage

On the undercard

MW - Dan Creedon (17/17) (23-12-1) SD10 Joe Walcott (9/17) (20-13-3) (walcott stepped up to MW for this loss)
LW - Ad Wolgast (26/31) (12-8) UD10 Kid Black (UR) (6-7-1) (Black at pre)
FW - Frank Robson (UR) (9-1-4) UD10 Harry Decker (UR/17) (10-4-1) (both at pre)
HW - Ed Martin (46/36) (19-15) TKO9 Herbert Slade (22/34) (16-17-2) (both fighters down, both cut .. good fight)
LH - Charley Stevenson (club) (9-10) UD10 Harry Baker (club) (7-12-2) (both still at prime for this club fight)
