Johnny Murphy wins regional title
August 10, 1911
Johnny Murphy (12/8) (18-4-2) scored a convincing TKO10 over Harry Harris (14/15) (18-2-1) (pre) to win the USBA BW title.
Harris was cut under his right eye in the first and couldn't seem to get past it. His nose started bleeding badly in the 4th and was dropped in the 9th. Finally the nose got too bad and the ref stopped it.
I had it 88-83 at the stoppage. Harris moved to prime.
