"The decision was very close but just and many of 12,000 spectators who attended the fight thought that Willis won." (The Ring, April 1928).

The San Francisco Examiner felt that Walker was battered and outclassed at various stages in the early rounds, but rallied with a fury in the final three rounds to defeat a tiring Willis. The crowd threw items in the ring after the verdict, which the Examiner felt was correct.

• Walker's purse: $10,000
• Willis' purse: $2,000
