Lee Ramage vs. King Levinsky (2nd meeting)

Lee Ramage 189 lbs drew with King Levinsky 200 lbs by PTS in round 10 of 10

• Date: 1936-04-07
• Location: Olympic Auditorium, Los Angeles, California, USA
• Referee: Jack Kennedy

"Lee Ramage, once a ranking heavyweight, looked down the comeback trail and saw a lane both rugged and rosy. The San Diego fighter, who quit the ring 14 months ago after Joe Louis put him away in 3 rounds, came back last night to hold King Levinsky of Chicago to a 10-round draw. 10,000 fans packed into the Olympic Auditorium and applauded Lieutenant Jack Kennedy's verdict. Ramage easily out-generaled Levinsky. He landed the cleaner blows, and once, in the 2nd, had Levinsky shaky and running for cover. But the strain of renewed ring-warfare began to tell, along with Levinsky's bull-like, haymaker attack. Pop Foster, Jimmy McLarnin's veteran manager and the man who brought Ramage out of retirement, was satisfied with the fight." -Associated Press
