Main event
HW - Jack Johnson (CH) (44-3) cruised to an easy UD15 over the pre-prime Pearce Henry (4/5) (18-1). For Johnson it was his 3rd defense of the WBO title. Henry retained his CBU title.
There were no cuts or knockdowns and the outcome was never in doubt. I had 147-138, the official judges had is 146-140 x 2 and 147-139.
Other fights
HW - Joe Choynski (11/11) (35-10-2) (post) battled to a DRAW10 with Joe Goss (22/22) (26-6-5). Back and forth contest with no knockdowns or cuts. I had it 95-95 as did two of the official judges with the third scoring it 96-94 for Goss.
MW - Joe Shugrue (UR) (6-0-2) (pre) remained unbeaten with a boring UD8 win over Jack Lewis (UR) (1-6) (pre). Once again no knockdowns or cuts. I had it 77-74 with Lewis losing a point due to fouls. The official judges had it 77-74 x 2 and 78-73.
LH - John Miller (56/27) (11-9-2) stopped John Cavanagh (8/28) (13-4-2) in the third round to pull of this mild upset. Cavanagh won the first two rounds but was basically out on his feet when it was stopped in the third.
