He won his first six bouts that year, including a second-round knockout of Hogue in a rematch, and a ten-round decision over [[Jack Chase (American boxer)|Jack Chase]]. He met Booker in a rematch, and reached the same conclusion as their first meeting had: another 10-round draw.<ref name="myref"/> In 1943, Moore fought seven bouts, winning five and losing two.
