   | Start date: June 1929 |  
   | End date:   Aug. 1929 |  |  |  
   | Notes: |  
   | Gaige and Di Felice say that Portela withdrew after 7 rounds, which means that 5 of his 6 second-round losses are forfeits, but it is not clear which second round game was actually played. I will guess that his loss to Pleci in the second round was actually played, though this may be incorrect. |  |  |  |
