- Date: 1926-06-15
- Location: Civic Auditorium, Fresno, California, USA
Corbett gave away six pounds to Shlocker, who was to have forfeited money until Corbett's manager Ralph Manfredo refused to accept. Corbett took the first five rounds, landing his left hand, almost at will, during the first half of the bout. In the 1st round, Shlocker was nailed with a left to the chin and went down, but was up, without a count. The 6th, 7th, and 8th rounds were even as Shlocker was able to land on Corbett. Corbett rallied though at the end of the 8th round, landing three hard blows to Shlocker's stomach. Corbett had a big edge in the last two rounds, as he continued to land his left to the head of Shlocker.
