  • Date: 1930-08-14
  • Location: Civic Auditorium, Seattle, Washington, USA
  • Referee: Tommy McCarty

"Carter put up a game fight against the more experienced Seattle boxer but the Negro was no match and the decision was easily Morgan's... Carter tried gamely to cope with the brilliant boxing of Morgan and his aggressiveness won the admiration of the crowd. Morgan opened up in the fourth but the former Everett fighter stayed with him and in the fifth drove Morgan into a corner with sharp cuffs. It was only the final courageous spurt of a game loser, however, and Morgan added to his margin in the last round." Everett Daily Herald

The Seattle Times felt the first round was even, and that Morgan won the remaining five rounds.
