Now here's one you don't see every day! From a discriminating midwest collector comes this highly sought-after June 14, 1934, Max Baer vs. Primo Carnera fight program. From one of the more remembered fights from the 1930s, the Associated Press reported that, "Eleven times in eleven rounds, the massive Italian, biggest man ever to hold the title, crashed to the floor from Baer's blows, twice in the last round, before Referee Arthur Donovan stepped in and stopped the fight after two minutes, 16 seconds of the 11th... A twelfth time the giant slid to the floor full-length from lost balance in a wild lunge at his foe." 5.5x9", this heavy paper program lists all of the fights that were to take place that night with the back page completely devoted to Carnera and Baer. A few small tears are present but still presents well.
