Max Baer 203 lbs beat Les Kennedy 189 lbs by KO in round 3 of 10
- Date: 1931-11-23
- Location: Auditorium, Oakland, California, USA
- Referee: Toby Irwin
Baer played with Kennedy for the first two and a half rounds, beginning each round, fighting out of a crouch for thirty seconds, before reverting to a stand up style. Within a minute of the fight, Baer had drawn blood from Kennedy's nose. Baer boxed circles around Kennedy, and pounded him in the clinches.
In the 3rd, Baer landed a left hook to Kennedy's body, that got Kennedy to lower his guard. Baer then landed a powerful right cross that sent Kennedy on his way to the canvas. Before he fell, Baer landed a short right uppercut, that traveled less than six inches. Kennedy was out as he hit the canvas, and was counted out.
