"Barney Ross, world welterweight champion, known as a cautious scientific fighter, can slug with the best of them. He proved it last night by pounding out a 10 round decision over Ceferino Garcia from Los Angeles. The champion fought as though his title were at stake, although it was a non-title bout. He won the unanimous decision but was unable to knock down the sturdy Filipino who floored him twice in a previous fight. Twice when Barney tore in with his fierce two-fisted attacks, Garcia staggered under the blows and appeared ready to fold up, but he came back and absorbed more punishment. Garcia's best round was the second when his long swings left their imprint on Ross' body. He connected with a vicious right uppercut in the 4th which bothered the champion considerably." -United Press
