This was a bruising, crowd-pleasing battle. Marciano won handily enough but failed to even knock down his opponent, who had fought only twice in the previous two years. Applegate's best round was the third, which the referee also took from Marciano because of a low punch. Red landed plenty of good punches, typically in the early parts of rounds, but Marciano almost always came back later to take the play away. Marciano's best round was the sixth. The attendance was 4167 and the gross gate was $7, 6l6.

According to B.R. Beardon, this was Marciano's first fight with Charley Goldman in his corner and Al Weill as manager. There is currently some question as to who exactly Marciano's opponent was. The Canadian Ross had a patchy record and would have been a set-up.
