April 6, 1911
Arthur Pelkey (UR) (8-0-1) rallied to win a SD12 over Bobby McKioick (UR) (3-9) for his first defense of the AABU LH title.
McKioick started out strong winning a some of the early rounds but then seemed to run out of steam late in the fight. Pelkey was cut over the left eye in the 8th, McKioick over the right eye in the 11th.
I had it 116-114 Pelkey. Jason Wood (RE) had it 116-115 Pelkey. The official judges had it 116-113/113-116/118-113.
