Abbott Webb bout ends in eight round draw at More's Theater
Spectators saw a tame contest for the county lightweight title with Abbott and Webb clinching often and avoiding risk. Referee Hogsett did not award a decision though public opinion favored Abbott. Webb suffered a damaged eye while Abbott remained unmarked. Preliminaries featured Bowers vs McLarty in a four round war with Bowers marginally ahead. Newland boxed to a two round draw with Buchanan, while Larimere and Streit wrestled.
