  • Location: Prom Expo Center, Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA
  • Referee: LeRoy Benson

Two years after Warner made his debut against Batist at the Venetian Inn, Warner climbed into a ring against Corrigan for his second professional fight. A tough but fallible Irishman, Corrigan was considered to be a fighter Warner could defeat.

"I didn't know if I could beat him", Corrigan admits today.

Twice Warner knocked Corrigan down in the first round, but Corrigan got up each time, and at the end of the round Corrigan caught Warner with a straight right that knocked him to the canvas and ended the fight. After that fight, Warner did not fight again for nearly three years and the two men saw little of each other as Corrigan moved to Colorado and then to Dallas.
