WBO BW CHAMPIONSHIP
Abe Attell 14-2-1 (1) UD12 Johnny Coulon 13-3-2 (2)
Abe Attell won the WBO batamweight title outboxing the boxer, giving Coulon something of his own medicine. In a fight between two stylists Attell was clearly the more active and effective one. Attell won the first five rounds of the fight simply outworking Coulon, the fight had good tecnic level but not power blows were thrown. Coulon could dominate a stanza for the first time on the sixth round. The seventh round was an even affaire but on the eighth round Attel regained the control and continued his momentum winning the ninth round too.
The tenth round was for Coulon but he couldn’t mount a late rally becouse on the elventh round Attel was again commanding the actions.
The last round was an intresting affaire with good action and very even. My scorecard was 118-112 for Attel. The official scorecards were 118-113 118-111 and 117-114 for Attell.
