IN WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A TUNE-UP

Jack Root (15-3) defended his LHW title for the 4th time on 10-08-1903 with a UD15 over UR Dan Dwyer (3-6). It wasn't as easy as Root had thought it would be.

Dwyer scored a flash knockdown and then hung around through 10 rounds. Superior conditioning took over and Root won the last 5 rounds fairly easily. Dwyer only suffered a small cut under his right eye in the 6th.

I had it 146-140. Scott Lang ringside had it 146-141. The official judges had it 147-140/145-141/146/141.

Root will finish the year as the LBA Lightheavyweight champ.

On the undercard

LW - Dick Burge UD10 Young Otto
HW - William Miller TKO9 Gus Ruhlin
LHW - Leo Houck DRAW Fred Cooley (shocker considering it was a 9 rated vs 1 rated match)
HW - Jim Flynn KO4 Joe Hess (Flynn remains unbeaten as a beginner)
WW - Jimmy Mitchell UD10 Billy Gardner (Mitchell stepping up to WW for this club fight win)

Only upper level fights will be included in the chance to move up in weight rule from the previous post.
