World Heavyweight Championship (18th defense by Louis).
Louis was an 11 to 5 favorite.
After twelve rounds, Conn was ahead on two of the three scorecards and even on the third. He needed to win just one of the three remaining rounds to get the decision. However, after staggering Louis in the twelfth, Conn believed he could stop him and went for a knockout in the thirteenth. Louis, who was told by his trainer, Jack Blackburn, that he had to stop Conn to win, also went for a knockout. Louis hurt Conn with a right about a minute into the round. Louis, one of the greatest finishers of all-time, didn’t let Conn off the hook. A volley of lefts and rights put Conn down for the count at 2:58 of the thirteenth round.
The Ring Magazine ranked Louis vs. Conn I as the sixth greatest title fight of all-time
