In 1 round according to BoxRec.

Bout Missing in BoxRec. Does Taylor have a BoxRec record at all?

A 2nd round KO according to BoxRec.

Weiner's wiki page says his "ring record was reported to be: 38-19-1 (31 knockouts)." His BoxRec record presently reads 32-20-1 (25 KOs).

I believe heavyweight Red Taylor was also known as "Eight Ball" Taylor.

Taylor fought Weiner in the mid 1920s and I believe he also fought Weiner in that comeback fight in the 1930s.
