- The article stated that this was the 3rd fight between Leto and the Cocoa Kid. However, boxrec shows this as their 4th meeting.
"The fistic future was as bright today for Jimmy Leto as it was dark for little Louis (Kid) Cocoa, Puerto Rican whose claim to pugilistic fame was that he had fought 93 fights and never been knocked out. He fought his 94th last night, and now his ads have got to be changed. Leto stormed at him in the 3rd round of their scheduled 10 rounder, sent him down for a count of nine with a looping left hook and when the Kid finally got back to his feet Jimmy shot the other barrel. That hard right to the chin put Cocoa down for keeps." -Associated Press
