@elnick1000: It was the old 5 point system. The winner of the round got 5 points. The loser would get anywhere from 1 to 4 points, unless of course the round was scored even. Then the round would be scored 5 to 5. This system was replaced by the must system which was also 5 points, but California used the 10 point must system and this proved to be easier to use because it reduced the need for excessive adding.
Jimmy Slade was a prime, tough ranked contender well up for this, coming in wins over Lytell, Tiger Ted Lowry, and a KO of ranked Cockell. Great fight showing the form of Arch months before beating Maxim for the LH title. Slade goes on to beat Durelle and Jackson 2x down the road, highlighting the caliber of fighters Moore was mowing down in this period. Moore shut both his eyes, he did while raking his body. Thanks, A
Slade was a fringe contender in the early 50s, losing most of the big ones but wins over the likes of Don Cockell, Clarency Henry and Tommy Hurricane Jackson earning him the nickname 'The Spoiler'. Says a lot about the time period that he displays more boxing skills here than the majority of today's top "lb for lb" boxers . . .
I recall one local writer called Slade "Jimmy Slick" for the way he often avoided the knockout blow. Stupid announcer calling the decision that way. You knew who won after the second judge's score.

The scoring of the fight, 55-45, 56-44, what kind of point system was this.
