Howard Winstone vs Derry Treanor: Who won?

Post by Horse »

BoxRec currently says that Treanor beat Winstone, but everyone else seems to disagree.
He continued to win all his contests and in April 1962 he defended his title against Derry Treanor, at the Empire Pool, winning by a technical knockout in the fourteenth round. The next month he defended his title against Harry Carroll in Cardiff forcing him to retire after six rounds.

His first defeat came in November 1962 his 35th fight after 34 straight wins. He was beaten by Leroy Jeffery, an American featherweight, by a technical knockout in the second round after having been knocked down three times.

when my career came to an end in 1962 after I lost on points to Howard Winstone for the British featherweight title,
Comment seemingly from Treanor himself about losing to Winstone.

Carroll's manager called a halt after 6 rounds. Winstone became the first Welsh boxer in in 40 years to win permanent possession of a Lonsdale belt. The belt, symbolic of a British championship, is retired only only when a champion makes three successful defenses of his crown.
This comment about the Carrol fight on Winstone's BoxRec record page also suggests that he had won the Treanor fight.

You are correct, thanks for the update. It looks like the result got switched around by mistake.
