• Date: 1941-07-14
• Location: Gardens, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
• Referee: Matt Adgie

Zivic knocked Barbara down in the 2nd round with a right to the jaw, for a nine-count. The bout was fairly close until the 10th round, before Barbara faded and was decisively whipped in the last three rounds. This was a very rough and dirty fight as Barbara roughhoused and headbutted, while Zivic thumbed and healed. Barbara headbutted and fouled repeatedly in the 11th round, until Zivic protested.
