McCoy manhandles McCarthy
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.
July 22, 1910
Charles McCoy (CH) (28-8-3) boxed and fouled his way to his 4th defense of the WBC Middleweight title with a UD15 over Billy McCarthy (6/9) (26-13-3).
McCoy started slow but took over after the first couple of rounds and battered McCarthy the rest of the way. McCarthy's right eye started to swell in the 3rd and was a factor the rest of the fight.
Referee Laurence Cole allowed McCoy to do what he wanted most of the fight as he was cautioned 4 times and warned twice but never penalized.
I had it 147-139, as did Shane Macleod at ringside. The official judges had it 145-140/146-139/145-140.
Jack Dempsey NP was on the undercard and said all week that he deserved the title shot. He was rated 3rd but was behind McCarthy in the WBC rankings.
