  • Date: 1935-11-19
  • Location: Civic Auditorium, Seattle, Washington, USA

    • Though winning comfortably, Steele struggled with the elusive Stuhley for much of the bout. Steele scored a knockdown in the 4th with a left hook to the chin, and a right hand to the throat. In the 7th round, Steele finally floored his man for a two-count with a right hand to the back of the neck. Steele injured his right hand in the 8th round.

    Shortly after this bout, on the 29th, Steele was driving when he crashed into a stalled vehicle on the Tacoma-Seattle highway, near the Fife junction. He received a painfully cut head. Two companions in his car, Ted Clark and Walter Squire, received minor injuries. Steele had been taking a vacation from boxing to allow an injured wrist to heal. The accident delayed his return to training.
