- Location: Cambria A.C., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
- Referee: Tommy O'Keefe
Haley battered Willard in the 1st round, and knocked him down with a right hook to the head at the end of the opening round. Willard would rally in the fight, and in the 7th round, he landed a left hook to Haley's jaw that put him down for nine. Haley proceeded to cover up in a corner, while blocking what the Philadelphia Inquirer felt were light blows. Referee O'Keefe stopped the bout, to boos from the audience, and was escorted from the ring with the assistance of the police.
