• Date: 1938-04-22
• Location: Dreamland Auditorium, San Francisco, California, USA
• Referee: Toby Irwin

"Bob Pastor, NY heavyweight, and Lou Nova of Alameda, Calif., and Calif. state champion, fought 10 rounds to what referee Toby Irwin called a draw here last night. Pastor, who stayed 10 rounds last year with heavyweight champion Joe Louis, baffled Nova with his shifty boxing but Nova scored heavily in the last round. During several of the rounds the speedy, experienced New Yorker gave Nova as clever a boxing lesson as the young Californian ever had in the ring." -Associated Press
