• Referee: Lou Magnolia

"James J. Braddock from Jersey City chased the Buffalo will o' the wisp, Jimmy Slattery for eight rounds at MSG last night and then caught up with him to win by a TKO in the 9th round. For eight rounds Slattery danced and boxed his way out of difficulty. But near the close of the 8th round Braddock caught Slattery in a corner and drove both hands to the body. Just as Slattery seemed to have worked his way clear of the storm a long right caught him on the chin. Slattery held on and boxed his way out of danger until the round ended. Referee Lou Magnolia then halted the struggle." -Associated Press
