| 1947-11-11 | Tiger Bob Noonan | Saint Regis, Montana, United States | W | KO | 4 | 10 | ||||||||||||||
| Firpo came out of retirement in 1947 and fought Bob Noonan. A clipping provides: "Young Firpo, not so young now as fighters go, displayed some of his old ring prowess last night in St. Regis, knocking out Tiger Bob Noonan, the St. Regis Slaughterer, in the fourth round of their bout on an Armistice day card." John Bardelli (Young Firopo's son) interviewed three ringsiders who saw the fight, fight fans who did not know one another, and all three told him that in the fourth round Firpo landed a left hook and it sounded like a gun shot went off. Noonan's head struck the canvas before any part of his body and there was great fear that he was permanently injured. Fortunately, he recovered after being carried from the ring. Bardelli stated further: "I recall meeting him several times in the later 1950's in St. Regis while traversing through Montana with my father. Noonan was so respectful in seeing Young Firpo during these sojourns. As a youngster, I did not understand what the "glee" was about at the time as Dad did not even mention to me he had fought Noonan. Now, I understand the respect directed toward Firpo by Noonan". | ||||||||||||||||||||
