- Date: 1936-09-14
- Location: Coliseum Arena, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA
- Referee: Johnny Sehrt
Rovira became angered midway through the 1st round, after he felt Calamari had heeled him. Rovira went after Calimari to try and knock him out, and continued hitting him after the bell, and had to be pulled off by the referee. Rovira charged after Calimari again in the 2nd round, pounding his foe. Eventually the two got into a clinch, and Rovira threw Calimari to the canvas, and continued punching him while he was on the canvas. The referee pulled Rovira off of Calimari, and disqualified him. Rovira again charged after Calimari in his corner, and was held by the referee and Rovira as Calimari made his way to the dressing room. This didn't stop Rovira, who jumped out of the ring, and charged to the dressing room, making it halfway before the police stopped him.
