Middleweights Tony Janiro and former champion Rocky Graziano fought in the main event on September 19, 1951, in Detroit, with the colorful Graziano winning a 10-round decision. We offer here the actual fight worn gloves used by Rocky Graziano, which were given to the boxing commissioner in the State of Michigan, Floyd Stevens, following the fight and which were both signed inside the wrist by Graziano. These are Everlast manufactured gloves in nice condition with one small tear on the right glove. A small part of the original laces remain present. The gloves come with a detailed LOA from Kent Stevens, the son of the late Floyd Stevens, a letter from boxing expert Craig Hamilton and an LOA from PSA/DNA on the Graziano autographs.
