Freddie Steele beat Arnold Smith by KO in round 1 of 4

• Date: 1929-08-05
• Location: Greenwich Coliseum, Tacoma, Washington, USA

"It was hectic while it lasted. Smith, a wild swinger, caught Freddie low early in the round, but after a couple of seconds rest, they continued. Steele caught Smith a right to the chin and floored him for nine and put the big crush on him a moment later with another right to the chin." (Also on this card, reportedly for 50% of the gate receipts, future World Heavyweight Champion Max Schmeling boxed two two-minute, two-round exhibition bouts with Herman Hellar and Walter Sells.)
