One comment regarding Paul Cardoza, his weight was 186 lbs when he beat Eddie Owens. As a result his win was not for the New England Title. I believe that Cardoza won the title early in his career over Johnny Freitas. He lost the title to Owens in New Bedford. I was at the fight and shocked that the title changed hands in front of his home town fans.
