- Location: Armory, Spokane, Washington, USA
- Referee: Walter Wall
Fox came out pursuing the knockout, as he had promised in the local press before the fight, sprinting off his stool and landing to the head and body in the 1st round. Fox got a big uproar from the crowd, when he walked two steps away from Lewis, and then spun around and landed a roundhouse left to Lewis' face.
In the 2nd round, Lewis took control with his jab and half way through the round, worked Fox to the ropes. While there he landed a left hand and a hard right hand to Fox's jaw which sent Fox down for a seven count. Fox got up and made a bunch of scary faces, which he had also done at the beginning of the 2nd, but was sent back to his corner in bad shape to end the 2nd round.
In the 3rd, Lewis feinted with his left and came across with a right cross, that knocked out Fox. Fox had to be carried to his corner, after he spent a few minutes on the canvas.
