Notes
- Camel's victory avenged the only loss of his pro career. Three months earlier, Saad Muhammad (then Matthew Franklin) defeated Camel by a 10-round split decision.
- The Associated Press reported: "The outcome of the 10-round bout on Saturday night in Missoula was clouded when Franklin's manager, Frank Gelb, tried to inspect the scorecards and discovered no one from the Athletic Board was left in the arena. The board's secretary declared it a no decision."
- Two days after the fight, the board ruled that the decision in favor of Camel would stand. [1]
