• Date: 1931-12-09
• Location: Auditorium, Oakland, California, USA
• Referee: Toby Irwin

LaBarba "went out of his weight class last night to score one of the quickest knockouts of his career.... The end came two minutes after the start of the scheduled ten round bout. La Barba launched a vicious attack with both fists pounding Carter quickly to the floor. Carter failed to hit the former champion once." (United Press) "Carter, a shadow of a once brilliant fighter, had nothing but gameness. Lacking any sort of a defense, he stood up under a shower of vicious left hooks to head during the early half of their round, but staggered under a right to the jaw and hit the canvas as La Barba whipped over a left to the chin."
