The night of knockdowns

January 24, 1913

Title Fight

FLY - (WBA) Johnny Hughes (CH) (20-4-6) successfully defended his WBA Fly title with a UD15 over Joseph "Louisiana" Biderberg (2/3) (15-3-5). It was Hughes first defense. Hughes dropped Biderberg in the 2nd, 4th, twice in the 10th, and the 11th. Hughes had some scary moments though as he was cut over both eyes.

The judges had it a runaway at 148-133/148-133/148-132.

Title Tourney

MW - (WBA - first round) Young Mitchell (9/8) (20-2) knocked William Sheriff (8/10) (17-2) (pre) down 6 times on the way to a TKO10 victory to move onto the second round of the MW tourney. Sheriff was down in the 6th, 8th, 9th and three times in the 10th. I had it 88-80 at the stoppage.
