July 9th, 1906

Stanley Ketchel (15-2) scored a TKO11 over Jack Dempsey NP (25-3) to win the LBA Middleweight title.

The fight was exciting from the start with both fighters landing bombs. It see-sawed back and forth with both fighters seeming to take over the fight at different times. No knockdowns but lots of blood.

Ketchel was cut under the right eye in the first. Dempsey's right eye began to swell in the 6th. This was strange considering the points total for round 6 was heavily in Dempsey's favor. He must of gotten a thumb in the eye while I wasn't looking!!!.

Ketchel suffered a cut over his left eye in the 7th. Dempsey began bleeding over his swollen right eye in the 8th. By the 11th Dempsey's right eye had swollen shut. Halfway through the round the ref stopped the bout.

I had it 96-95 Dempsey at the time of the stoppage. Tom Trunzo ringside had it 96-94 Dempsey. The official judges had it 95-95/95-95/96-94 Dempsey.

On the undercard

WW - Rube Ferns (17-7) UD10 Al Neill (2-6-1)
HW - Joe Godfrey (3-18-2) UD6 Bill McKinnon (1-1) (McKinnon fought as a beginner in this club fight)
LHW - Dan Flynn (1-1-1) Tech Draw Vincent Goss (TC) (0-2-1) (Flynn fought as a beginner in this club fight)
LW - Jack Daly (5-0) TKO1 Jason Ellis (TC) (0-3) (Daly fought as a beginner in this club fight)
FW - Billy Murphy (6-18) UD10 Billy Barrett (1-10-2)
