New Unified LW champ
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. Also I will list my scorecard on the fights I watch in bold.
March 17, 1910
Frank Erne (9/CH) (18-5-2) scored a KO7 to win both the WBA and WBC Lightweight belts over Jack McAuliffe (CH/2) (33-6-2).
Erne started strong winning the first round. McAuliffe seemed to take control in the second landing at will, and swelling up Erne's left eye.
Erne dropped McAuliffe in the 3rd. The champ got up quick and didn't seem too hurt by the KD. Jack then won the next two rounds.
Erne won the 6th but had a point taken away for a low blow. That low blow seemed to sap the legs of McAuliffe as he went down for good in the 7th.
I had it 56-56 at the stoppage.
On the undercard
FW - Jack Downey (20/21) (12-6) KO2 Tommy Kelly (30/32) (Kelly at post, Kelly stepped up to FW in this weight adjusted fight, Downey dropped in the rankings due to several debuts in the rankings at FW)
