• Location: Madison Square Garden, New York, New York, USA

Chocolate was knocked down by Scalfaro's first punch of the fight: "Scalfaro figured to be easy pickings for the speedy Chocolate, but he walked out of his corner at the opening bell and knocked the Kid flatter than a Hershey bar with a right-hand punch to the jaw. The Kid was so surprised he almost forgot to get up." (Frank Getty, United Press Sports Editor, April 13, 1929.)

"Scalfaro jumped into the limelight by holding the sensational Kid Chocolate to a draw at Madison Square Garden Friday night." New York Times, Dec. 4, p. 37.

On December 4, Scalfaro appeared before the NYSAC to challenge for the vacant World Bantamweight Title.
