Solly Smith from retired to champ!

October 20, 1911

Main Event

FW - Solly Smith (4/CH) (25-16-3) scored a KO9 over Oscar Gardner (2/5) (22-6-1) to win the vacant WBA FW title. Smith who retired in 1909 and came back a year later, lost his first return bout but has won 8 in a row since.

Smith controlled the fight but did get knocked down in the 7th. He dropped Gardner with a right hook in the 9th and Gardner was unable to make it to his feet.

I had it 77-74 Smith at the stoppage.

Regional Title Fight

HW - George Christian (UR) (11-0) scored a TKO1 over Boer Rodel (UR) (10-1) to win the vacant AABU HW title. Christian dropped Rodel in the first minute then pounded him until the ref stopped it late in the round.

Title Eliminator

WW - Jack Britton (1/1) (23-3-6) scored a narrow SD12 over Young Peter Jackson (3/5) (26-7-2) to win a IBF title eliminator bout. Britton will go on to face Charley Hitte for the title in December.

Very close fight with a lot of very tough rounds to call. There were no knockdowns or cuts. I had it 116-115 for Britton. The official judges had it 116-115/114-118/117-115.

Other Fights

WW - Jack Bennett (club) (11-19-2) scored a UD8 over Fred Kay (UR) (9-1) to mar Kay's undefeated record. Kay's left eye was swollen and was knocked down in the 8th which proved to be the difference. I had it 76-75 as did all the official judges in this club fight.

BW - Terry McGovern (10/8) (36-8-4) TKO4 Joe O'Leary (31/39) (11-8-2) (o'leary at pre)

BW - Kid Williams (UR) (9-1) UD8 Austin Rice (club) (9-26-5) (williams at pre, rice at post in this club fight ..... Rice is officially the worst 7 rated fighter in my universe)
