GANS IN A BLOW OUT
Joe Gans worked over George Lavinge on May 8th, 1902 for the LBA Lightweight title ....
Gans put Lavinge to the mat in the 2nd and the 5th and won every round on my scorecard. He lost a point for low blows in the 9th but won that round also ....
My final scorecard had it 149-134 ... the official judges had it 148-134/148-136/147-135.
Gans landed 561 punches to Lavigne's 209.
Gans landed 45.4% of his punches to Lavigne's 28.6%.
It ws a really unexpected lopsided fight. Gans first title defense will be against Jack Blackburn who KO'd Gans in the 7th in January 1902.
