==Taking the World Lightweight Championship for the second time, October 1952==
Carter took the World Lightweight Championship for a second time on October 15, 1952, against Mexican national Lauro Salas in a fifteen around unanimous decision at the Chicago Stadium before a small crowd of 5,283.<ref name=BR/> In a sweeping victory, which saw far more damage to Salas, the officials gave all but two of the rounds to Carter and his terrific left hook.<ref>Chamberland, Charles, "Carter Wins Back Crown From Salas", ''The Decatur Daily Review'', Decatur, Illinois, pg. 38, 16 October 1952</ref>

On April 24, 1953, he staged a title defense against Tommy Collins before a substantial crowd of 12,477 at Boston Garden, winning in a fourth-round TKO.   Collins' corner men ended the fight after their boxer had been knocked to the canvas ten times in the final two rounds. Both the TV audience and the crowd, who were largely fans of Collins, protested the continuation of such a brutal, and one sided bout.<ref>King Bill, "Jimmy Carter Scores TKO Over Tommy Collins in the 4th", ''The Morning News'', Wilmington, Delaware, pg. 23, 25 April 1953</ref>   He next fought George Araujo on June 12, 1953, in a lightweight world title bout at Madison Square Garden, winning in a thirteenth-round TKO.<ref name=BR/>
