Bob Pastor 189 lbs beat Roscoe Toles 199 lbs by UD in round 10 of 10

  • Date: 1939-05-19
  • Location: Olympia Stadium, Detroit, Michigan, USA
    • Signing of the fight announced on April 14 by promoter Jack Kearns.[1]

    "The retreating strategy that once enabled him to survive 10 rounds with champion Joe Louis earned Bob Pastor, NY heavyweight, an easy 10 round decision over Roscoe Toles, Detroit. Moving backwards from start to finish, Pastor outboxed Toles who never appeared to have a chance after the first three rounds. Toles won the 1st and 3rd and held Pastor even in the 2nd, but once his smaller opponent got the range Toles was helpless." -United Press

    • Although the UP report did not name the officials, their scores were 5-2-3 (twice) and 5-1-4 all for Pastor.
