- Date: 1946-06-13
- Location: University of Detroit Stadium, Detroit, Michigan, USA
- Referee: Sam Hennessey 50-50
- Judge: Joe Lenahan 53-47
- Judge: Frank Fisher 48-52
It was an intense battle held in 52 degree Fahrenheit weather. Nearly everyone at ringside thought that LaMotta had won and a scoring error was suspected, but a recount failed to locate a mistake. The Detroit News had LaMotta winning seven rounds to three. "It was the sort of fight that invites scoring differences. There were no knockdowns, no developments that could be cited as conclusive evidence that one man or the other was entitled to preference. It was simply a bruising brawl in the pattern of the two previous engagements between the same contestants."
