Fritzie Zivic 147 lbs lost to Clyde Gordon 144 lbs by UD in round 9 of 9

• Date: 1947-01-08
• Location: Civic Center Arena, Miami, Florida, USA
• Referee: Eddie Coachman

"Listless nine rounds." Zivic "failed to show the fire he was billed a having. After several ineffectual forays, he covered up to let [18-year-old] Gordon hammer him until the judges called a halt to the contest." (AP) The nine-round distance was a compromise: Zivic wanted 10 and Gordon 8. (UPI)
