Chambers makes 4th defense
July1, 1911
Arthur Chambers (CH) (21-3-1) dropped challenger Young Corbett (11/14) (26-17-4) 3 times in the 8th round in route to a KO8. This was Chambers 4th defense of the title.
It was a pretty even bout as Corbett landed more punches but Chambers landed the heavier shots. Corbett's left eye started swelling in the 4th. Chambers started carrying his hands low in the 5th.
Chambers then dropped Corbett with a little over a minute left to go in the 8th. Then dropped him two more times to finish it off.
I had it 67-66 Chambers at the stoppage.
