"Only a stout heart kept Ballerino in the fray till the finish. He put up the kind of battle that had the whole house rooting for him. He was cheered even more in defeat than he probably would have been in victory." Los Angeles Times

Ballerino- Jr. Lightweight Champion- was game but outclassed. He was floored for counts of 9 in the ninth and tenth rounds. A crowd of "nearly 10,000" witnessed the bout, including Heavyweight Champion Jack Dempsey, Jimmy McLarnin and Tommy O'Brien, all of whom received tremendous ovations.
