• Referee: Tommy Thomas

"Max Baer, California's contender for the heavyweight championship of the world, today had a knockout over Ernie Schaaf of Boston - but it will never find its way into the record books. After one of the most astonishing finishes seen in any ring, Schaaf was stretched out cold in the battle pits of the Chicago Stadium last night, knocked out just as the bell sounded ending their 10 round contest. From the battle Baer salvaged a mere decision. Schaaf made the fight most of the way, thumping Baer with both hands to the head and body. Then, as the 9th round started, Baer piled into into Schaaf with a withering assault. Schaaf was a tired and bewildered fighter when the round ended. The 10th was the same, only moreso. Two bruising rights landed on Schaaf's jaw and down he went just as the final bell sounded. Nearly five minutes of frantic work by Schaaf's handlers was required to bring him to and get him to his corner." -Associated Press
