Goldberg had defeated future champion Ortiz on August 5, 1938, in a four-round bout in Los Angeles when both were preliminary fighters just starting out in the professional ranks. On November 23, 1943, Goldberg lost to Manuel Ortiz in a fifteen-round decision for the World Bantamweight Championship at Olympic Stadium in Los Angeles. Goldberg was ranked third in the world among Bantamweights prior to the bout. Goldberg had formerly drawn with Olivera in July 1938. The bout spotlighted Goldberg as a serious contender for the World Bantamweight Title. There were no knockdowns in the bout between the two well matched competitors. In the last three rounds, Olivera used his leading southpaw left to score to the stomach and face of Olivera, gradually building his point's margin enough to win the close decision. By the sixth and seventh, Olivera had adjusted to Goldberg's unusual southpaw stance and had opened a slight margin in points. Though outweighed, Goldberg defended Olivera's attack with fast counterpunching to the body and head. Goldberg defeated Tony Olivera on Apin ten rounds at Legion Stadium in Hollywood. Ironically, Transparenti had convincingly beaten Salica just one month earlier, but in a non-title bout. Transparenti, a quality opponent, had competed unsuccessfully for the World Bantamweight title against Lou Salica in March 1941, and had performed well in the first ten rounds, holding the favor of the crowd. On December 14, 1942, Goldberg impressively knocked out Lou Transparenti in the fourth round at Arena Gardens in Detroit. The important win was considered an upset over such a skilled opponent, and made Goldberg a boxer to watch.

Goldberg defeated Joey Archibald, former World Featherweight Champion, on July 21, 1942, in Toledo, Ohio, in a ten-round points decision. Goldberg knocked Denner to the mat in the fourth round, and achieved a large margin in points scoring, despite giving up six pounds in weight as well as many as five inches in reach. Denner was ranked fourth in the world among featherweights at the time of the match. The win was considered an upset against the talented Denner, and elevated Goldberg's standings as a world bantamweight contender. Though suffering from a significant disadvantage in height, Goldberg defeated talented bantamweight and former USA New England featherweight champion Abe Denner On Apat Arena Gardens in Detroit in a ten-round points decision. Though a talented and experienced opponent, he was nearing the end of his ten-year career. Gilligan was a competent bantamweight who had once beaten Joey Archibald. Goldberg had previously beaten Gilligan on Main an eight-round decision in Detroit where he floored his opponent three times in the convincing win. Jimmy Gilligan lost to Goldberg On March 23, 1942, in an eight-round decision at Civic Auditorium in Toledo, Ohio. Marselline was a talented featherweight who would amass an impressive record in his career. Goldberg was often sloppy and shy in his ring generalship as evidenced in this match, and did not entirely impress the audience in this early stage of his career.

Goldberg defeated Johnny Marselline on June 2, 1941, flooring him for a six count in the third. It was a victory that got the attention of his fans, though not surprising considering his successful amateur career. Annarino was the previous holder of the 1930 Ohio State Bantamweight title. Professional boxing career Įarly in his career Goldberg convincingly beat George Annarino with a sixth-round knockout on May 2, 1939.

Goldberg did not turn pro until 1937, after completing an outstanding amateur record. As an amateur, he won the Detroit Golden Gloves Bantamweight Championship in 1935 and in 1936, and took the AAU Bantamweight Championship of Michigan from Olympic Gold Medalist and future Bantamweight World Champion Jackie Wilson. His use of a left-handed or Southpaw stance was a challenge to many of his competitors. Goldberg's careful attention to the champion's style paid off over time.

Benny studied the technique of the triple world champion Barney Ross, who excelled as a light and welterweight from 1933 to 1938, when Benny was in his teens. Born in Warsaw, Poland, on December 25, 1918, Goldberg's parents brought him to America when he was two years old, and the family settled in Detroit.
