Washington's opponent was billed as Arizona Kid, from Vineland. Referee Dean's decision in the main event caused a near riot. Subsequently, there were accusations of bribery from several quarters and also temporary suspensions of Burke and his manager. A few days after the event, the VFW post that sponsored the card formally denounced referee Dean's decision in the Seltzer-Burke bout.
