  • Date: 1932-05-25
  • Location: Civic Ice Arena, Seattle, Washington, USA
  • Thompson was supposed to meet Freddie Steele, but after the weigh-in the day before, Steele's manager, Dave Miller, refused to allow his young fighter "to give away weight to an experienced, clever boxer like Thompson." Seattle Daily Times

    The Seattle Times gave Thompson the first three rounds, Bennett the 4th and 5th, and called the 6th even. In the 4th round, Bennett staggered Thompson with a left hook.
