Jumbo Rovira 146 lbs fought without result Battling Burroughs 149 lbs by NC in round 6 of 10

  • Date: 1935-12-09
  • Location: Coliseum Arena, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA
  • Referee: Eddie Coulon

According to the New Orleans Times-Picayune, this was a double disqualification. The Times-Picayune felt that Rovira was only half-trying; while Burroughs appeared to be trying, but unable to land much of anything. The paper felt that the low attendance, and small purses that the two boxers could be expected being paid on percentage, may have affected their poor performances.
