  • Referee: Jack Hart

Notes

  • United Press International reported: "Pastrano, of Miami, Fla., was ahead on points when referee Jack Hart stopped the fight at the end of the fifth round at Harringay Arena because of a two-inch cut over the American's left eye. London had butted Pastrano in the fourth. Pastrano . . . ducked, rode with the punches and stung back with his left. But he lacked the power to deliver a decisive blow on London's big, inviting chin, and London hit his eye twice more before the fight was stopped."
  • Angelo Dundee, Pastrano's manager and trainer, was furious over the stoppage. "How can the referee tell whether my boy's hurt," he said. "He ain't no doctor."
