Jackie Callura 123 lbs lost to Aurel Toma 120 lbs by PTS in round 10 of 10

  • Date: 1940-05-29
  • Location: Auditorium, Oakland, California, USA
  • Tony Olivera was the original scheduled opponent for Toma, but he came down with a severe cold. Jackie Jurich was to have appeared in another 10-rounder, but his opponent pulled out of the bout. This was one of the worst gates in promoter Tommy Simpson's long career in Oakland.

    Gate: $345 (worst in memory, per the paper)
    Purses: Toma $65, Callura $50
