Thanks, so what do you think Dillon's chances of breaking Ryan's record are?

He's got a good shot .. Depends on when he runs into Dempsey or Fitzsimmons, he'll need to be prime before facing those guys. His next fight will be for a title against either Butler or Byers. If he wins he automatically goes to prime. Butler would be tough.

March 31, 1911

Terry McGovern (CH) (35-7-4) scored a KO12 over Charles Goldman (4/4) (17-3-1) (pre) for the first defense of his WBA Bantamweight title.

Slow start to the fight had McGovern way ahead on points. Goldman landed a shot in the 8th that dropped McGovern. The champ barely beat the 10 count and held on the rest of the round. That seemed to light a fire underneath the champ as he dropped Goldman 5 times over the next 4 rounds and for good in the 12th.

McGovern moves to 12-4-1 in title fights.

I had it 107-98 at the stoppage.

Good deal - he is 10-0 for me with his only non-TC opponents being Cassius Clay Scott, Don Ellis and Mike Holt. This is Bob's second year in the ring.

Steve Taylor's run ends at 4-0 but not for lack of controversy ...
tonight he fought Denver Ed Martin .... Martin came in as a 2-1 favorite and took control of the fight right off the bat. He easily won the first two rounds, only to be floored by Taylor twice in the Third. Taylor went on the offensive winning the 4th and 5th rounds easily. The sixth was close, with a slight edge going to Martin even though he was carrying his hands low. Within the first minute of the 7th Martin was cut underneath the right eye, Taylor went on the offensive and landed several shots. At the 2:00 mark, Martin landed his first punch of the round and cut Taylor above the left eye. The fight was stopped and the ring doctor called the fight.

The ring became a melee with Taylor's corner throwing punches at members of Martin's entourage. Martin's corner claimed racist remarks made and vowed revenge during the press conference. Taylor, evidently a Great X 4 relative of Oscar De La Hoya, claimed a full scale investigation would be launched.

"They want the Sullivan's and the Jackson's of the world winning fights, not the Taylor's" he was quoted as saying. Grand Master of the LBA, Mike Hanson, decreed that once both fighters were healthy, the normal scheduling rules would be set aside and a mandatory rematch would be scheduled.


One last thing I forgot ... Taylor was ahead 56-55, 58-54 and 57-55 on the official score cards and 57-55 on mine

Long long time ago ... Steve Taylor now toiling away at END and in the club ranks, was just moved to retired. By he had won 6 out of his last 10 fights so he gets to move back to End. His record is 20-21-2 (if memory serves) so he has a shot at getting back into the main division before he retires.

[mh2365]

Almost done with scheduling for the month ... it would appear that Johnny Kilbane has a good shot at his first title as he is the challenger for Jimmy Brigg's WBC title.

[Romdawg88]

It's good to see that Steve Taylor is still around and kicking hopefully he can even out his record and get another shot at the Main ranks before he's done for good. Also, that De La Hoya relative line was classic stuff.

[mh2365]

For the main division there were 228 out of 607 fighters in action this month with 67 of them facing TC's. They went 60-4-3.

They club ranks have 87 out of 211 fighting this month with 42 facing TC's. They went 34-7-1.

I can't wait for that matchup should be a heck of a fight.
