August 29th, 1906

In a surprise upset, #3 George Dixon (18-5) scored an UD15 over Champ Terry McGovern. Not so much a surprise because Dixon isn't good enough. But a surprise because McGovern had previously knocked Dixon out twice.

This bout appeared to be headed in the same direction when Terry downed Dixon in the first. Dixon recovered and boxed his way to a win in the next 3 rounds. McGovern held a slight edge in the 5th and then dropped Dixon again in the 6th. Then Terry won the 7th, but only won one more round the rest of the way.

I actually gave Dixon a 10-8 round in the 8th as he cut McGovern and out pointed him 28-3. Actually thought the fight was going to be stopped. Dixon took the 14th and 15th which it turns out he needed on all the judges scorecards to win the fight and take the title.

I had it not so close with Dixon winning 143-139. Shane MaCleod (of the clan MaCleod's) and all 3 judges had it 142-141.

On the undercard

MW - Charley Hitte (7-5) UD10 John P. Clow (12-14) (Hitte stepped up to MW for this win)
MW - Jack Williams (8-0) UD10 Edward Rollins (11-15)
FW - Will Curley (7-0) TKO6 Eddie Santry (10-18-1) (Curley fought pre-prime in this club fight, moves to prime and the upper division with this win)
HW - John Ferguson (10-14-1) KO2 Mervine Thompson (7-12-2) (club fight)
LW - Danny Duane (2-6-1) UD10 Billy Frazier (10-16-1) (club fight)
