"A crowd of 7890 fight fans, paying gross receipts of $23,420, saw LaBarba, admittedly one of the greatest little ring men of this era, subject Francis to a baffling exhibition of boxing skill in the 1st round of their tilt, ride successfully through the storm of savage drives to the body and head which Francis unleashed in four succeeding rounds, and comeback with an exhibition of boxing which bewildered his rival."
