The referee declared a no contest after Hansen fell without being hit; purses for both fighters held up. In Santa's record, this has been shown as a 2-round knockout win for Jose, and in Knute's record, this has been shown as a 2-round knockout defeat. However, according to the Chicago Tribune (Bob Soderman), the fight was officially declared "no contest."
