• Date: 1935-11-27
• Location: Auditorium, Oakland, California, USA

Armstrong began the fight fast, and had already raised swelling on Wolgast's left cheek at the end of the 1st round. In the 2nd round, a right hand by Armstrong sent Wolgast sliding down the ropes for a knockdown. Wolgast sitting down, took an eight count. A few seconds later a left hook knocked him down on his face, but he jumped up again at the count of eight. In the 3rd and 4th round, Wolgast overwhelmed Armstrong with jabs and left hooks to the face, as he won both of those rounds. Armstrong regained control of the bout in the 5th, as he outworked Wolgast. Wolgast put up a strong rally in the 8th, outspeeding and outthrowing Armstrong. Armstrong then took the last two rounds from Wolgast, who slowed down.

Wolgast was believed to be out of shape, and was thus only able to fight in spurts.
