Henry takes regional
April 22, 1911
Pearce Henry (UR/8) (15-0) (pre) scored a KO10 over Bill Lang (6/9) (22-7) to win the CBU HW title and take his first step to a world title.
Henry left no doubt about this one as he dropped Lang 3 times in the first and then punished him over the next 8 rounds before dropping him 2 more times in the 10th to finish it.
Lang may have won a couple of close rounds along the way but for the most part it was all Henry.
I had it 87-81 at the stoppage.
On the undercard
WW - Charley Hitte (8/7) (22-11) TKO7 Tom Meadows (29/32) (11-6) (meadows at pre)
FW - Abe Willis (44/33) (15-7-2) UD10 Mike Sears (UR) (11-2-1) 96-95 (both at pre)

LW - Phil Cross (UR) (3-2-1) DRAW8 Johnny Allen (UR) (8-1-3) (both at pre for this club fight ..... cross quickly becoming a dissappointing 7 rated fighter)
