Herrera Scores First Big Win
August 26, 1905
Aurelio Herrera (7-2) shook off a horrible start to win a UD10 over Owen Moran (15-3-1).
Herrera was throughly dominated in the first 3 rounds of the fight. He suffered a cut under his left eye and both eyes were starting to swell. A right uppercut at the start of the 4th changed the tide as Moran was dropped.
Herrera then kept up the pressure and won the 5th and the 6th rounds. Moran started to get his senses back in the later rounds but it was too little as the momentum had clearly swayed the judges.
I had it 95-95. Danny Wildhawke at ringside scored the fight 96-95 Herrera. The official judges had it 95-94/95-94/96-93.
Herrera's next fight will be his 10th and will place him in the rankings for the first time.
