Sam Langford beat Frank Farmer by PTS in round 4 of 4

  • Date: 1920-10-13
  • Location: Arena, Seattle, Washington, USA
  • Farmer was nervous and awed by old Sam and failed to put up his usual bout, making the poorest showing he has ever made in the Northwest. Farmer clinched so much that the fans booed, but he was in there to stick the four rounds and he did. He refused to use his right hand, which he injured some months back, on the head of Langford, about the only spot, it seems, that Langford could be hit the way he was fighting Wednesday night." Tacoma News Tribune

    According to the Seattle Daily Times of May 18, 1922, Farmer was "set down for a year for his miserable showing against Sam Langford two winters ago." He would not fight again in Seattle until May 23, 1922.
