Manny Candia 124 lbs lost to Ernie Tedesco 125 lbs by PTS in round 10 of 10

  • Date: 1932-10-21
  • Location: Oakland A.A., Jersey City, New Jersey, USA
  • Referee: Cal McCarthy

From The Ring, January 1933, page 47. The decision "nearly caused a riot when the referee raised Tedesco's hand..It was apparent that the little Mexican lad had won 9 of the 10 rounds."

The Jersey Journal rported that the crowd booed the decision for 15 minutes, and that all the newspapermen ringside felt Candia one. Candia let punches fly from all angles, while taking Todisco's best punches. Todisco's manager Rocco Bufano stated that his fighter had trained for a six-round bout, not a ten-round bout, which left him at a disadvantage.
