• Date: 1934-02-13
• Location: Civic Auditorium, Seattle, Washington, USA

Woods boxed well in the first five rounds, winning three rounds, with two even. Woods began to clinch more and offer only wild swings in the 6th round, as the crowd booed him. In the 7th round, a left hook to the head sent Woods down for a six-count, as the bell ended the count, though Woods appeared capable of rising. Payne appeared tired in the 8th and 9th rounds, as Woods took those rounds. Entering the 10th, it appeared Woods just had to stay off the canvas to win the fight. In the 10th, though, a right-hand from Payne floored Woods, almost without a count. Woods was hurt this time, and bleeding from the mouth, Payne battered Woods, who went down again, though it appeared to be from a slip.
