1911 FW Title Bouts

WBA Title Bouts

Abe Attell CH (45-2-1) vs Eddie O'Keefe #3 (17-1)

Abe takes on the youngster, who comes off a disappointing SD loss to Johnny Kilbane after a perfect 17-0 start. This is the 12th defense for Abe who is gunning for his 14th win in a row.

A straight right midway through round one stuns O'Keefe, who tries to cover up but to no avail. The bout is halted in the opening stanza. Attell by TKO 1.

Abe Attell CH (46-2-1) vs Johnny Kilbane #2 (17-2-2)

Attell takes on Kilbane for the first time, and Johnny is at Prime career stage as well, so it may be Abe's sternest test in some time.

After a close fought first round, Abe takes the second when Kilbane tries unsuccessfully to take the inside of the ring away. Kilbane then moves outside and comes on strong at the end of round 3. Round 4 swings back to Attell, but the 5th is a huge round for the challenger and a welt appears near the left eye of the Lil Champ at the end of the round. Lots of action in rounds 6 and 7, slight edge to Attell. Abe rocks the challenger on his heels with a sharp combination. Kilbane's left eye now swelling up as well. Round nine sees Kilbane land a big right near the end of the round, but he can't exploit his success in the 10th. Kilbane begins to tire in the 12th, but he manages to land a three-punch combo at the end of the round to stun the Champ. Attell comes back with a big uppercut in the 13th and wins the 14th fighting on the outside. No KDs as it goes to the scorecards -- a great fight between two warriors of the ring. Attell did what he needed to get the decision. Attell by MD 15 (146-141, 143-143, 145-142).

Abe Attell CH (47-2-1) vs Kid Julian #8 (13-1-2)

Abe goes for his 17th straight win in his 15th title defense. Julian has not lost since his third bout, coming in with 13 in a row without a defeat. It looks like a mismatch as Abe dominates the early action, causing the challenger's left eye to swell by the end of round 4. Julian begins tiring as early as the 8th, and Attell dominates the rest of the way. The ref finally calls a halt midway through round 14. Attell by TKO 14.

Abe Attell CH (48-2-1) vs Young Corbett #4 (38-17-4)

Attell comes in having won his last 17, and Corbett has won his last four. Four prior bouts were all won by Attell. This may be the last shot at the brass ring for the aging vet, Corbett.

Abe pours it on early, and Corbett is simply too slow to stay out of the way. After applying constant pressure, Abe breaks through to send the game vet to the canvas in round 9. A second KD follows a round later and it is all Corbett can do to hang on. More punishment is inflicted by Attell in the form of a third KD in round 11 and a cut eye in the 12th, but Corbett somehow keeps going. Attell eases up near the end for a lopsided UD 15 win.

NABF: Joe Bernstein defends the belt against another aging veteran, Terry McGovern, and Bernstein's slick defense manages to prevail as he avoids McGovern's roundhouse blows for most of the fight. McGovern is cut late in the bout and this results in a stoppage when the cut is reopened -- Bernstein by TKO 11. Joe then takes on Eddie Santry, another Golden Oldie, and wins a MD 12 verdict as Santry struggles with his timing throughout in a bout that did not seem that close. Finally, Bernstein elects to take on an in-Prime Johnny Kilbane, who signals he is ready to fight by putting Bernstein on the deck in round 3, and Kilbane survives a cut eye to win a lopsided UD 12 decision to take the title.

USBA: Brooklyn Tommy Sullivan defended the crown four times in 1911, first against Kilbane in a very hard bout that ended in a majority draw (one judge had it for Kilbane by a point, the other two had it even). After that narrow escape, Jimmy Walsh was next up from Tommy who used a cautious approach, gradually pulling ahead for a comfortable points win. Then it was Grover Hayes' turn, another tough test as Brooklyn Tommy struggles until he lands an uppercut that Hayes walks into in the 7th. An aggressive Hayes comes back to make it a real close bout, 114 all on all scorecards for another draw! Then Sullivan defends against aging vet Harry Decker, an opponent he easily dominates for a TKO 6 win..

CBU: Percy Cove made his third title defense in front of hometown fans in Edmontion, taking on Aussie Jimmy Hill. Cove started slowly but gradually began to apply the pressure, taking advantage of his superior stamina to wear the less experienced Hill down. Cove retained title by UD 12.

GBU: Owen Moran still holds the title, but no defenses in 1911.

EBU: Billy Elliott defended against the man he beat for the initial belt in 1910, Patsy Kline. Elliott was cut over the right eye in the initial stanza, but Kline was cut over the right eye as well in round 2. The bout settled down and Elliott built a lead with an effective long-range attack. The last two rounds saw an all-out assault by Kline that just fell short. Elliott by MD 12 (116-112, 114-114, 115-113).
