- Date: 1935-12-20
- Location: Madison Square Garden, New York, New York, USA
- Referee: Billy Cavanaugh
The first punch of this non-title fight, a round house right to the jaw, deposited Risko on the floor. He was on the canvas five more times. Referee Billy Cavanaugh counted him out at 2:48 as he sat there dazed and helpless.
"Jock McAvoy's first blow of the battle, a stiff right, sent middleweight champ Babe Risko to the floor for the count of one, the second time Eddie had been floored in his long career. Five more times McAvoy swarmed over his man and downed him for counts ranging from five to eight. The last time Risko rose he was groggy and bounced off the ropes into the middle of the ring, where a short right put him down for the final count - 2:48 after the scrap began. It was the first time Risko had been counted out." - United Press
