Jake LaMotta 159 lbs beat Jose Basora 154 lbs by TKO in round 9 of 10

• Date: 1945-08-10
• Location: Madison Square Garden, New York, New York, USA
• Referee: Johnny Burns

"No one punch did it for Basora. He merely was rendered so tired that he slumped to the canvas, helpless, a few seconds after referee Johnny Burns had pried his tormentor off him. And when Basora hit the canvas, Burns very sensibly gestured that it was all over." New York Times
