Over 40 rounds! The famous Battling Nelson vs. Joe Gans fight ended with Nelson punching low and being disqualified, with Gans winning by default. The Nevada heat was so intense that Gans entered the ring carrying an umbrella, and cornermen on both sides furiously fanned the two fighters in between rounds. This Official on-site program was sold at the Nelson vs. Gans fight in Goldfield, Nevada. It has several folds with some chips on the front cover and at the edges. The overall condition is G-VG.
