This full ticket was for the controversial Jack Dempsey vs Jack Sharkey fight on July 21, 1927, at Yankee Stadium, where Dempsey beat Sharkey in Round 7. As Sharkey began telling the ref. that Dempsey hit him below the belt, Dempsey threw a powerful left hook and K.O.-ed Sharkey. Vivid colors and readability, but for the rounded corners and sharp crease down the perforation, we grade the ticket VG.
