Joe Dundee 144 lbs beat Eddie Roberts 147 lbs by UD in round 10 of 10
- Date: 1927-01-14
- Location: Madison Square Garden, New York, New York, USA
- Referee: Lou Magnolia
- Judge: Harold Barnes
- Judge: George Patrick
- Dundee won eight rounds, and Roberts two.
- With a pile-driving one-two to the chin, Roberts floored Dundee in the fourth for a count of eight (another report said it was a 9-count), but Dundee's pluck and stamina carried him through. Roberts may have been weakened by making the welterweight limit, but made a "favorable impression with his heavy hitting." He earned $15,000. Attendance: A record throng of 18,000. (AP)
