JOHNSON RETAINS TITLE WITH UNINSPIRED PERFORMANCE

Jack Johnson (14-1) turned in a lackluster performance but still managed a UD15 over #8 Larry Foley (7-3-1). It was a very close fight with no knockdowns and only one cut over Foley's left eye. Johnson ran away with it by winning the last 4 rounds.

I had it 145-140. Tom Trunzo ringside had it 144-141. The official judges had it 143-142/145-140/145-140.

It was Johnson's 3rd title defense and he will end the year as the champion.

On the undercard

HW - Sam McVey UD10 Dominic McCaffrey (McCaffrey came into the fight ranked #1)
HW - John J. Dwyer DRAW John Haines
HW - Denver Ed Smith KO10 Denver Ed Martin
LHW - John P. Clow UD10 Morris Heffey (Clow stepping up in weight for the win)*
MW - Johnny McGlade UD10 Geoffrey Thorne

* I'm putting in a new rule into LBA rules. If a fighter steps up in weight and wins there is a 10% chance he stays at that division. It increases by 10% with every win. Clow will not move to the LHW division.
