Gans dropped Myer in the first round and it appeared he'd be on his way again with an easy second round. An accidental head butt in the third cut Gans over his left eye and Myer won the round. In the fourth Myer was cut over his right eye and started taking the fight to Gans ... He landed several unanswered blows and dropped Gans who was out on his feet. There was no doubt the count was going to 10.
I had it 29-27 Gans.

Myer is a monster. In my (now defunct
) universe, he beat Jack McAuliffe not once, but twice.
Always fun to keep up on the happenings of the LBA.
