Scott LeDoux 225 lbs lost to Ron Lyle 218 lbs by SD in round 10 of 10

"Ron Lyle kept his pro career alive as he survived a 3rd round knockdown and went on to capture a split decision from Scott LeDoux in a 10 round bout Saturday night. The 37 year old Lyle used his left hook in gaining the decision by the scantest of margins from the 30 year old LeDoux from Anoka, Minn. LeDoux floored Lyle in the 3rd and then followed with a right cross that put the Denver boxer into the ropes again. From then on it was a come-from-behind effort for Lyle and only one point separated the fighters in the judges cards at the end. Lyle was unmarked while LeDoux bled from the nose, from a cut above the nose and had his right eye almost closed." -Associated Press

  • Unofficial AP scorecard - 47-45 LeDoux
  • Unofficial Boxing Illustrated scorecard - 46-44 Lyle
  • Heavyweight champ Larry Holmes fought six exhibition rounds on this card. Three with Lynn Ball and three with Jody Ballard.

Post-fight comments

  • "I had some trouble after that bad cut over my eye because I couldn't see him coming. But I still think I won the fight. The judges just didn't see it that way." -Scott LeDoux
  • "I would never do that on purpose. I have too much pride in myself as a man and in my skills as a fighter to have to resort to dirty tactics." -Ron Lyle, when questioned about hitting LeDoux after the bell in three of the rounds.
