Middleweight Crown Goes To John Wilson In Bout
In Horton on May 7 Johnny Wilson of Boston won the world middleweight title by referee decision over Mike O Dowd of St Paul after 12 rounds. O Dowd led early and often pressed, but Wilson used a right hand to score repeatedly. One knockdown occurred in the second round as Wilson landed a right to O Dowd's jaw. The crowd was capacity as both fighters ended unsteady. Wilson’s win was his first against a leading opponent after bouts with lesser rivals in New England.
