[Loss]

I am no expert at this era, but I say this is not Steel Belt, but is actually Capitol Wrestling from Philadelphia 6/8/63

6/8/63 Philadelphia, PA @ Arena 
Great Scott beat Dominic Doganiero
Great Scott no contest with Buddy Austin 
The Fabulous Kangaroos beat Tony Martinelli & Buddy Rosen
The Fabulous Kangaroos beat Argentina Apollo & Pete Sanchez
WWWF World Champion Bruno Sammartino beat Magnificent Maurice
Johnny Barend beat Bobo Brazil by countout
 

And also this---  7/9/63 Philadelphia, PA 
WWWF World Champion Bruno Sammartino beat The Shadow 
Bobo Brazil beat Johnny Barend to win WWWF United States Title

[Loss]

This is a title win, so the last one is probably the right one. I'll update with that info unless we're given a correction by someone.

It's not a title win.   Barend retains via countout.   Listen to the commentary at 2:55

Also, the commentary refers to Barend winning the title recently in Cleveland.   According to wrestling title histories, that was on 6/5/63 Cleveland.  So this match is three days later.
