"Nate Druxman, Seattle promoter, sought an immediate rematch but found that Dado was suffering from a bad cut over his right eye and a wrenched shoulder, and Israel was bothered with a swollen left arm. By the narrow margin of 35 to 31 points, figured by two judges and the referee, Dado gained the decision after six hectic rounds. A large number of the spectators called for a draw at the end of the battle. The Filipino piled up his margin of victory in the first round when he caught Israel off-balance with a quick counter-punch to the chin and sent him to the canvas. The Jewish boy was up and swinging again before the count started." Everett Daily Herald.
