Jock Leslie 125 lbs beat Stanley Cieslak 130 lbs by TKO in round 3 of 8

• Date: 1945-09-24
• Location: Coliseum Arena, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA
• Referee: Eddie Coulon

Leslie knocked down Cieslak in the 1st round, and with the count around 8 or 9, a fan rang a cowbell. Referee Coulon interpreted this as the bell, and ended the round, thus potentially saving Cieslak from an opening round knockout. Leslie knocked Cieslak down again in the 2nd round, and again in the 3rd round. Leslie hurt Cieslak with a right hand, that had him helpless along the ropes, when the bout was stopped.
