Stanley Ketchel lost to Sam Langford by NWS in round 6 of 6
- Date: 1910-04-27
- Location: National A.C., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
- Referee: Jack McGuigan
- Fight by rounds: [1]
- "Ketchel and Langford will have to fight again to settle the question of supremacy. They went a hard six-round bout at the National athletic club here and were both on their feet, able to continue, with plenty of strength and aggressiveness when the battle ended, with no decision by the referee. No knockdowns were scored in spite of the terrific hitting power of both men, and while there seems to be no doubt that they tried to do their best , they will probably come together in a longer fight in California next July for a large purse." (Marion Daily Star)
