Ezzard Charles beat Al Barlow by PTS in round 3 of 3
- Date: 1944-12-16
- Location: Brancaccio Theatre, Roma, Lazio, Italy
- Charles: 78.800 kg,
- Barlow: 79 kg,
- Referee: Freeman (U.S.)
Barlow and perhaps suggested by the reputation of the opponent "backpedaled" for all three rounds. Ezzard either did not have legs to chase him or didn't want to, so that at the end he became a champion for having won a fight that, practically, did not take place.
