- Date: 1951-02-21
- Location: St. Nicholas Arena, New York, New York, USA
- Referee: George Walsh
"Archie Moore, No. 1 light heavyweight contender, stopped Jimmy Bivins at the end of the 9th round last night when Dr. Vincent Nardiello told referee George Walsh that Bivins was unable to see out of his battered left eye. Moore dumped the 30 year old Bivins with a right uppercut just before the bell ended the 9th. The bell saved Bivins after the count reached only one. Helped to his corner Bivins was ruled 'unable to continue' by Dr. Nardiello of the NYSAC. Moore took an early lead with his slashing lefts but Bivins came back strong in the middle rounds to score with his overhand right. Both were cautious of each others punching ability from previous meetings." -Associated Press
