Before a crowd of 4,000, the Kid lost the World Jr. Lightweight boxing championship to [[Frankie Klick (boxer)|Frankie Klick]], on December 25, 1933, at the Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in a seventh-round technical knockout. The ''Ludington Daily News'', wrote "The flashy Cuban "bon bon" (Chocolate) was bereft of the title in the seventh round of a scheduled fifteen round Christmas Day bout by a whistling right smash to the chin and all he got in exchange was the second knockout of his career although the latest was of the technical variety."  The bout had been fairly close until the seventh with Chocolate showing stamina and style.<ref>"Young Frankie Klick Holds Junior Lightweight Title", ''Ludington Daily News'', Ludington, Michigan, pg. 6, 26 December 1933</ref> The seventh round had gone two minutes and fifty-eight seconds when the knockout occurred. "The Cuban waged a fast, aggressive fight in the early rounds that gave him a temporary lead."  Chocolate had landed rights "to the head and body."  Kid Chocolate may have been suffering from the knockout he had received from Tony Canzoneri only a month previously.  Chocolate retained his featherweight championship at least in the state of New York.<ref>"Frankie Klick Takes Junior Lightweight Crown", ''Belvidere Daily Republican'', Belvidere, Illinois, pg. 6, 26 December 1933</ref> After that fight, it was revealed that he was suffering from [[syphilis]].
