. Campbell's professional record was 33–4–2 and one no contest with 26 knockouts wins. Frankie Campbell fought his last fight against Max Baer on August 25, 1930, in San Francisco, California
.
An alternate take on this second round exchange is offered in the San Francisco Examiner from August 26, 1930. The article reads:
Onlookers claimed that Baer slugged Campbell "unmercifully" in the 5th round after he was already unconscious but had held onto his feet by the ropes. Had the referee not intervened, Campbell would have been killed outright.
(UP) Doctors worked over Campbell in the open-air ring at the baseball park for half an hour and, failing to revive him, took him to a local hospital where other physicians and nurses worked over him for several hours. Campbell died from a severe concussion of the brain.
Doctors later discovered that his brain had been knocked loose from the connective tissue inside his head.
Brain specialist Dr. Tilton E. Tillman "declared death had been caused by a succession of blows on the jaw and not by any struck on the rear of the head," and that Campbell's brain had been "knocked completely loose from his skull."
The California State Boxing Commission soon suspended Referee Irwin for his failure to stop the fight, J. Hamilton Lorimer (Baer's manager), Carol E. Working and Tom Maloney (Campbell's managers), and seconds

Last fight
Max Baer was knocked down in the 2nd round, which enraged him, and rose from the canvas to put all his power behind a solid right-hand punch that hit Campbell flush in the chin. Campbell eventually died from the punch and the later beating he received in the 5th.An alternate take on this second round exchange is offered in the San Francisco Examiner from August 26, 1930. The article reads:
Irwin [the referee] ruled that Baer had slipped and had not been dropped. He motioned Baer to his feet. In the meantime Campbell had walked the far side of the ring, turning his back... Baer rushed across the ring and socked Campbell with three stiff rights to the head... The blows dazed Campbell and he was pretty well spent as he made his way back to his corner. 'Something feels as though it broke in my head,' Campbell told Chief Second Tommy Maloney during the rest interval between the second and third round.
