Lou Nova 209 lbs beat Ben Moroz 289 lbs by TKO at 2:48 in round 7 of 10
- Date: 1944-02-22
- Location: Olympic Auditorium, Los Angeles, California, USA
- Referee: Reggie Gilmore
Nova "completely outclassed" Moroz. (Associated Press) Moroz was never floored but "he was a bloody mess and had no chance of winning" when the fight was stopped. (Quote from The Ring, May 1944, page 46.)
"Lou Nova, 209, minus his once-vaunted 'Cosmic Punch,' bounced back on the comeback road today. Nova scored an impressive 7th round TKO over big Ben Moroz, 289, of Philadelphia at the Olympic Auditorium last night. Even without flooring the giant Moroz, Nova dished out an unmerciful lacing, driving steaming left hooks off Moroz' expansive breadbasket for six rounds. Referee Reggie Gilmore halted the contest after 2:48 of the 7th heat." -The Circleville Herald
