No, it wasn't the first fight broadcast (with commentary) over the radio, Butterfly, and you shouldn't be spreading such lies.

Then what was?

Then what was?

Look to the undercard, Butterfly!

Seriously, that whole, or at least most of the card was broadcast over the radio, and both the 1985 Ring Record Book & The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Boxing state that the first fight broadcast live over the radio was Packey O'Gatty versus Frankie Burns...

Interesting sidenote (or not really), that O'Gatty/Burns fight was also the first time the ring's MC had used a microphone.
