Maritime Telegraph Service report carried by Canadian dailies...Referee Hiram Cook used the IBU's round system and scored 7 rounds Jackson, 6 rounds Corbett with two rounds, the 6th and 10th even...Jackson was warned once for holding and hitting, but Corbett's seconds complained he was doing this throughout the match...Cook replied that he could have disqualified Corbett for his constant holding...Corbett's best rounds were the 8th and 14th when he had Jackson covering on the ropes...Jackson came closest to putting Corbett down in the 4th round when he landed several hard blows to the ribs and a looping right on the jaw...It was an overflow SRO crowd who paid some $15,000, 10% of which was divided between the fighters...A purse of $20,000 was split 65% to the winner and 35% to the loser...Jackson says he'll be ready to defend his laurels in two or three months time.
