This excellent series of a dozen 2.25" full color negatives/transparencies is from the first Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Bugner bout in Las Vegas. A 12-round decision, although the results were somewhat lopsided in Ali's favor, Bugner won the respect of the boxing media and general public, and even both Ali and Angelo Dundee declared that Bugner was capable of being world champ. In NM-MT condition. The original negatives and images in this collection are by the personal photographer of Ali's manager Herbert Muhammad. Unpublished, they have not seen the light of day for five decades. Recently discovered, they come with the photographer’s rights. All of the negs/transparencies are unique, “Type I” images that can be used to make prints and products of the finest quality and huge scale.
