"Ralph Dupas, the 20 year old top ranking lightweight contender, battered Paddy DeMarco through nearly all the ten rounds of their second encounter Monday night to take a unanimous decision. The effort was Dupas' best. He stood up and fought instead of his usual hit and run tactics. A light cut on the bridge of his nose in the 5th was Dupas' worst injury. DeMarco suffered a deep gash on his nose in the 7th and was cut on the eye in the 8th. It was opened again in the 9th and 10th for a furious and bloody finale." -United Press
- Unofficial UP scorecard - 7-1-2 Dupas

- "I think I won the fight. In fact, I was never surer of winning any fight in my life than I was this one." -Paddy DeMarco
- "There's no percentage in me fighting DeMarco, because you can get hurt fighting him, with his rough stuff and elbows. He was much easier this time and I knew I had him after the 3rd round, I had his style figured out." -Ralph Dupas
