Only two championship fights this month but both should be dandies.

HW - Charley Mitchell (19-4) vs. #4 Peter Jackson (22-3) Jackson tries to win his second title, he won the LBA back in Sept. 01, defended it twice before losing to current champ Jack Johnson in Oct. 02. Due to some weird rankings he is just now getting back into the top ten and finally got another shot at the title. He should be favored.

MW - Jack Dempsey (25-2) vs. #2 Stanley Ketchel (14-2) #1 Fitzsimmons was eligible to fight this month but Dempsey chose to make his first title defense against Ketchel instead. The prompted Fitzsimmons to call out Dempsey, stating that Jack got lucky in the last fight and obviously he knows it since he is ducking me now.

A little different scheduling this month. I decided once a year I would use the LBA ratings and match the highest with the next highest and so on down the list. Should make some interesting fights this month and change up the rankings a little.

A few intriguing fights

HW - #3 Armstrong vs. #5 Heenan (Heenan UD12)
LHW - #2 Gardner vs. #3 McCoole (DRAW10)
MW - #1 Fitzsimmons vs. #4 LaBlanche (Fitz KO10)
LW - #3 Nelson vs #6 Blackburn (Nelson SD12)
FW - #1 Attell vs. #3 Smith (Attell UD12)
FW - #4 Driscoll vs. #7 Corbett (Driscoll TKO10)

I'll list the outcomes of these fights here in bold
