- Date: 1932-02-22
- Location: Seals Stadium, San Francisco, California, USA
- Referee: Toby Irwin
"While the first four rounds were fairly even, in the 10-round bout between Max Baer, 199, and Tom Heeney, 211 1/2, here Monday afternoon, the last six rounds were in favor of Baer by a heavy margin. In fact, the bell saved Heeney in the 5th round. It was said by some that Baer was 'carrying' Heeney along the last 5 rounds, so he could be on his feet at the end, but Harry Smith, an expert, says Baer does not know enough tricks of the game to 'carry' an opponent without it being too apparent to the audience." -Hayward Daily Review
