• Date: 1927-08-16
• Location: Queensboro Stadium, Long Island City, Queens, New York, USA

"Henry Goldberg of Brooklyn, 152 1/2lbs and Eddie Tiernan, Westside, 154lbs, a pair of former amateur rivals, put on a heated argument for 10 rounds with Goldberg grabbing the decision. They went at it like a pair of longshoremen, neither giving an inch, and banged them home from every angle. Henry's superior boxing skill carried him to a victory." - NY Times 8/17/1927

From another NY paper: "...once the outstanding star of the amateur ranks, Tiernan apparently cannot go over the 10-round distance. He tired badly last night after starting off well, and near the end was pummelled by the rugged Brooklynite. Tiernan made a number of attempts to knock him out but, failing to do this, could not outlast him."
