Having claimed the American 115lbs title following the draw with [[Johnny Reagan]], Monroe met Leon at that weight in what was a serious risk to his championship aspirations. Although not quite as clever as his experienced opponent, Monroe maintained his aggression throughout ~~as the pair battled for supremacy~~ despite being badly cut over the left eye early on. There were no knockdowns as the men went blow for blow, but there were several occasions when one or the other was badly staggered. At the final bell it was Monroe who received the referee’s verdict, while Leon felt that he had done enough to give him at least a share of the decision.	+	1901-01-14 (115lbs) [[George Monroe]] w pts 25 [[Casper Leon]], Whittington Park Arena, Hot Springs, Arkansas, USA.
