This is the first championship bout in California under the new state boxing law. World Lightweight Champion Benny Leonard would retire a week after this fight and talk in the California press about Hudkins being his possible future successor (along with other West Coast lightweights Joe Benjamin, Phil Salvadore and Spug Meyers)began in earnest shortly after that. "Hudkins took six of the ten rounds, knocking Carter down for the count of nine in the sixth." Los Angeles Times
