Billy Weeks beat Romeo Hagen by KO at 0:12 in round 1 of 4
- Date: 1915-12-18
- Location: Knights of Pythias Hall, Wilkeson, Washington, USA
- Referee: Biddy Bishop
Weeks knocked Hagen down two seconds into the bout with three rapid punches. (Two timekeepers both independently corroborated the time.) It equaled the shortest ring contest in history to that date: the Battling Nelson vs. William Rossler bout of April 5, 1902. This reportedly was Hagen's first KO loss after some 200 contests.
