• Judge: George LeCron 7-2

"Lou Ambers, spotting his opponent 7 1/2 pounds, outboxed, outfought and outgunned the bigger lad, whom many of the experts had figured would hand the champion his first knockout. Ambers weathered young Al Davis' smashing left hooks to solar plexus and head in the early going and fought back with such wildcat ferocity that Davis was through after the 5th round. With blood streaming from nose and mouth, and with both eyes almost closed, Davis was so groggy and bewildered he barely was able to last out the 9th and 10th rounds." -United Press
