Second time Whistler has been champ also. He defeated Jimmy Briggs way back in 1904 to take the title then lost to Attell in the next fight. He dropped down to club for a while and was brought back up just prior to his title fight win over Jem Driscoll. He is 8-1-2 in his last 11 fights.
Curley on the other hand at 21-9 isn't that far behind Herrera's 24-9 record, so his isn't all that bad. This is his first title shot and he beat Whistler back in 1905 to drop Whistler to the club ranks.
