  • Referee: Leo Shea

"Upholding his reputation as one of the finest pieces of fighting machinery in modern day ring warfare, Barney Ross, the lithe little Chicagoan risked his junior welterweight title against the rushes of Frankie Klick, San Francisco, at Miami Municipal Stadium last night and emerged an easy winner after 10 fast rounds of battling. Ross belted Klick almost at will and scored the only knockdown of the fight, flooring Klick with a vicious right to the chin in the 2nd round. With his junior welterweight title safe for the time being at least, Ross today said he planned a busy year with his goal set to recapture the welterweight championship." -Associated Press
