Driscoll handles Yanger
December 18, 1910
Jem Driscoll (CH) (38-6-1) scored a UD15 over Benny Yanger (8/10) (18-2) to make his first defense of the IBF title.
Yanger gave Driscoll a fight but his inexperience showed through (Yanger was at pre) and Driscoll gave him a tough veteran lesson as Yanger tired down the stretch.
Driscoll's left eye began to swell in the 6th and Yanger was dominating the round, but he got careless and was dropped late in the round. (this was the round I complained about in tech support)
Driscoll dropped Yanger again in the 13th as he coasted to a victory.
I had it 145-140. George Thorn, at ringside, had it 146-140. The official judges had it 145-138/146-138/144-141.
On the undercard
BW - Dave Sullivan (10/9) (18-3-1) UD10 Dan Rowan (18/20) (12-2-2) (both at pre)
HW - Frank Mantell (8/6) (19-5) SD10 John Knifton (69/76) (20-19-1) (mantell at pre ... good win over a tough veteran)
MW - Jack Moffat (59/53) (13-12-1) UD10 Fighting Kennedy (44/47) (9-8-1) (kennedy at pre ... kennedy moved up to MW for this fight)
LW - Bobby Dobbs (UR) (7-0) SD8 Mark Higgans (UR) (4-7-2) 77-75 Dobbs (both at pre for this club fight ... very unimpressive showing for Dobbs)
FW - Hugh McWinters (UR) (9-1-1) UD8 Billy Murphy (club) (17-23) (mcwinters at pre, murphy at post for this club fight)
