Lbc Middleweight Title Still Undecided
November 6th, 1905
LBC #1 Joe Butler (18-4-1) rallied and scored a 15th round knock down to salvage a draw against LBC#2 Jack Burke (16-6-3).
In a fight pretty much dominated by Burke, the late knock down evened the score on two judges cards. A relatively uneventful fight until the final round was marked only by a cut on Butler's nose in the 2nd round.
I had it scored 143-141 in favor of Burke as did ringside expert Jim Trunzo. The official judges scored it 142-142/143-141 (Burke)/142-142.
On the undercard
MW - Jack Dempsey NP TKO1 Dick O'Brien
WW - Dick Burge KO4 Jack Bennett (bennett will drop to club)
MW - Jack Moffat KO5 Bill Slavin (moffat fought as a beginner in a club fight)
HW - Marvin Hart UD10 Tompkin Gilbert (club fight)
MW - Johnny McGlade DRAW Matty Matthews (Matthews fought as a MW in this club fight)
