Title Tourney
LHW - This fight was the main event over a regional title match because of the participants.
Bob McAllister (7/4) (21-3) scored a TKO7 over Georges Carpentier (4/8) (24-5) to advance to the second round of the WBA LHW tourney. Unfortunately it means he meets Jack Dillon in December.
The first few rounds were close and then McAllister had a big 5th and 6th round. It continued into the 7th when Carpentier was on the ropes and not fighting back. The ref had no choice but to stop it. There were no knockdowns or cuts. I had it 59-57 for McAllister at the stoppage.
Title Fight
FW - Patsy Brannigan (9/9) (18-1-3) (pre) fought to a DRAW12 with Jerry Barnett (11/11) (21-8-1) for the vacant USBA FW title. The two will fight again in December. Unfortunately for Barnett, Brannigan moved to prime after the fight.
There were no knockdowns but Brannigan was cut over the right eye in the 6th. Barnett had built a pretty good lead but Brannigan finished strong winning the last 3 rounds. I had it 115-114 for Barnett, two of the official judges had it 114-114 while Barnett's dad scored it 117-111.
