• Date: 1938-09-07

• Referee: Fred Bottaro

"Phil Brubaker, less than two years ago considered the most promising young heavyweight in the country, last night brought his astonishing career to an end when he was counted out in the 1st round of a scheduled 10 round bout with Lou Nova at Oakland Auditorium. Phil proved no match for Nova. He even forgot to protect his jaw and it was there that Nova got in his damage. Brubaker hit the deck for a nine-count early in the round, got up and did not even try to clinch. He was down and out a moment later." -San Mateo Times
