• Date: 1959-07-13
• Location: Municipal Auditorium, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA
• Referee: Roland Brown

Rivers was more than holding his own with Hank for nine rounds. But in the 10th, Hank let go with his left that dropped Rivers on all fours. Rivers, game as they come, survived a 9 count, and ran into another battering. Bleeding from nose and mouth and his right eye closing fast, the referee halted the bout with only 20 seconds remaining.
