Fidel LaBarba 125 lbs lost to Claude Varner 125 lbs by PTS in round 10 of 10

  • Date: 1931-06-26
  • Location: Legion Stadium, Hollywood, California, USA
  • Referee: Billy Burke

The Los Angeles Times felt that Varner was awarded "one of the queerest verdicts on record." The Times wrote that Varner won only two out of the ten rounds, and nothing after the third round.

The Hollywood Citizen-News also felt that this was a bad decision, feeling that the referee gave too much credit to Varner's aggressive, while not recognizing LaBarba's great counter punching. The Citizen-News gave LaBarba a 6-3-1 edge in rounds.
