| 1956-01-11 | Bob Satterfield | 40-19-3 | Chicago Stadium, Chicago, Illinois, USA | W | TKO | 8 | 10 | |||||||||||
| Satterfield was knocked down in the 1st, 3rd, and 8th. The bout was stopped after he rose unsteady after the last knockdown. Four hours before the fight Satterfield was a 2 1/2-to-1 favorite to win, the odds shifted by fight time to make Holman and 8-to-5 favorite. Commissioner Lou Radzienda felt that the odds shift did not warrant an investigation though. | ||||||||||||||||||
