"Making his first appearance since winning the world lightweight championship from Tony Canzoneri, Lou Ambers of Herkimer, N.Y., lost a surprise 10 round decision to Eddie Cool of Philadelphia, before 6,000 in a non-title bout tonight. Ambers forced the fighting most of the way, but Cool, apparently following a set plan, either held the champion at arm's length with a left jab or tied him up in the clinches, while countering with rights to the head and body. Cool won on his showing in the last round when he abandoned his retreating tactics and forced the fighting for the first time. He landed several rights and lefts to the chin and followed through with body punches in close. Referee Adgie warned Cool against holding in the 3rd, but until the last he continued to tie up the champion's right in close while landing rights to the head and body. In the 5th Cool staggered Ambers, but Ambers weathered the storm and soon resumed his leading tactics." -Associated Press
