The San Francisco Chronicle reported that Louis knocked Barry down twice in the second round and twice more in the third.
In his book Joe Louis: The Great Black Hope, Richard Bak wrote: "Barry went beyond the first round only because of Joe's empathy for a local sportswriter, Harry Smith, who had predicted a third-round knockout. Joe liked Smith, so he carried Barry."
