Main Event

FW - Cal McCarthy (2/CH) (23-6) scored an easy UD15 over Kid Landfield (CH/8) (17-15-3) to win the WBC FW title.

Landfield hung pretty close in the early rounds then McCarthy took over from the 6th on only losing the 15th the rest of the way. Landfield was down twice in the 14th.

I had it 146-137, while the official judges had it 146-138/144-140/145-138.

Title Fight

BW Dave Sullivan (CH) (24-3-1) continued his strong career with a TKO9 over favored Owen Moran (8/11) (33-8-6). Sullivan made his first defense of the IBF BW title.

Sullivan cut Moran over the left eye in the second and that cut would eventually stop the fight. Moran was fading fast at the stoppage. A very close fight was broken open in the 8th when Moran was dropped. Then with Moran tired and bleeding badly again in the 9th the ref stopped it.

I had it 77-75 at the stoppage.

Other fights

MW - Jack McCarron (UR/15) (14-0-1) scored a UD10 over Billy Manning (68/81) (9-10) to remain unbeaten and to join the rankings. McCarron was never in any trouble in this fight and dropped Manning in the 8th. I had it 99-91, the official scorers had it 99-92/100-92/100-90.

MW - Joe Thomas (53/38) (18-7-4) got a nice with with a UD10 over Bill Gabig (32/39) (15-2-3). The fight was close the whole way and even after 8 rounds. Gabig tired and was dropped twice in the 9th. I had it 96-92, and the official judges had it 97-91/96-92/97-91.

HW - Jimmy Elliot (59/41) (31-9-3) TKO1 James Couper (57/75) (11-5-2) (couper at pre)

March 2, 1912

Main Event

MW - Jeff Clarke (17/CH) (20-2) caught a lucky break when an injured shoulder gave him a TKO13 over Billy Papke (CH/4) (25-5). Clarke takes the IBF MW title.

Papke had pretty good control over this fight but Clarke was rallying when Papke seperated his shoulder in the 13th round. Clarke's right eye started swelling and it was completely closed by the 13th.

I had it 116-113 at the stoppage. The commissioner (me) has given Papke an automatic shot at Clarke or whoever holds the title in 4 months when he is healed.

Regional title fight

LW - Freddie Welsh (12/9) (20-8-1) used his superior boxing skills to win a UD12 over Willie Fitzgerald (8/11) (21-2-3) to win the CBU LW title. Fitzgerald was the IBO champ also and while the title is vacated Welsh doesn't get the crown. The IBO title can only be fought for in December.

There were no knockdowns or cuts and Welsh held Fitzgerald to 20% accuracy. I had it 117-113, while the official judges had it 116-114/116-115/116-113.

Other fights

LW - Patsy Kerrigan (UR) (6-0-2) scored a UD8 over Willie Rothwell (UR) (3-4) to remain unbeaten. Easy fight for Kerrigan with no knockdowns or cuts. I had it 79-73, while the official judges saw it 78-74/78-74/79-73.

FLY - Kid Murphy (9/7) (21-6-4) scored a UD10 over Griff Jones (UR/8) (12-3) (pre). Murphy was cut over the right eye in the 7th but dropped Jones in the 1st and the 10th to cruise. I had it 97-91, while the official judges had it 98-90/97-91/98-90.

Main Event

WW - Jack Britton (CH) (25-3-6) fouled his way to a SD15 victory over Kyle Whitney (6/6) (19-6-5) for his first defense of the IBF WW title. Three of Whitney's six losses have come to Britton.

Britton recieved 7 warnings and 2 point deductions and was almost disqualified on his way to the victory. He won the 11-14th rounds to seal the win. No knockdowns or cuts in the fight.

I had it 144-140, while the official judges had it 143-140/144-140/141-143.

Main Event

FW - Oscar Gardner (3/CH) (24-6-1) got up off the canvas in the first to score a TKO7 over Will Curley (CH/8) (23-10-3) to win the WBA FW title. Curley will also vacate the IBF title since it wasn't on the line here and an 8 man tourney will start next month.

Gardner was down in the first but won the next 3 rounds to get back in it, cutting Curley's left eye in the third. By the 7th the eye was a mess and the ref stopped the fight. I had it 57-57 at the stoppage.

Regional title fight

FLY - Joe McGrath (5/2) (18-3-3) got a narrow MD12 win over Grover Hayes (1/3) (17-1-1) (pre) to win the USBA FLY title and hand Hayes his first loss.

WW - Dick Nelson (49/35) (18-8) got a bit of a gift with a SD10 win over Mike Glover (21/30) (20-2-2). Nelson looked the worse for the wear with a cut lip and a swollen left eye. Glover seemed to break open a close fight with a 10th round knockdown. I had it96-94 Glover, while the official judges had it 95-94/94-95/96-93.

LH - John Miller (56/27) (11-9-2) stopped John Cavanagh (8/28) (13-4-2) in the third round to pull of this mild upset. Cavanagh won the first two rounds but was basically out on his feet when it was stopped in the third.

WW - Tommy West (13/17) (19-8-3) got totally screwed with a DRAW10 against Billy McMillan (59/59) (16-3-3) (pre). West controlled the fight and seemed to have a comfortable lead. I had it 97-93 West, but the official judges saw it 96-94/95-95/95-95.

Main Event

LW - Jack McAuliffe (CH) (41-7-2) got up off the canvas to stop Aurelio Herrera (4/9) (24-11) in the 6th round to retain the WBO title. McAuliffe who looked over the hill winning the title found new vigor for this fight (rolled to come in at prime).

Herrera took the fight at McAuliffe early dropping the champ in the second round. McAuliffe returned the favor in the 4th and then a cut over the right eye of the challenger stopped the fight in the 6th.

Damn, bad luck for Herrera that McAuliffe came in at Prime. It'll be interesting to see how Herrera does at WW should he decide to move up there.

let dillon fight for the ibf title

[btown32]

mh2365,

I've been going through your universe and was wondering if I could ask you for some of your created HW files? I read somewhere early in this thread, that you dont really share your created files because you dont spend a lot of time in creating them. What is your opinion on that issue? Thanks, btown32
