- Date: 1934-01-02
- Location: Crystal Pool, Seattle, Washington, USA
- Referee: Rod Murphy
"Neither of the big fellows even came close to hitting the floor, both absorbing everything the other had to dish out. The 40 year old Easterner suffered the most visible damage, one of Smith's blasting rights cracking his lower lip early in the fifth session shortly after Christner had sent Smith back on his heels with a similar wallop. Clinches were numerous, both men raking the other's face with the glove hand. Smith complained of a low blow in the final round, but continued without a rest." (Associated Press)
