1927 Dempsey vs. Tunney "Long Count" Full Ticket and Photograph

1927 Dempsey vs. Tunney "Long Count" Full Ticket and Photograph

It remains the subject of debate nearly a century after the fact. Did the referee's long count help defending Heavyweight Champion Gene Tunney get off the mat and allow him to win the fight? This framed display with double-sided glass from that 1927 bout showcases an original wire photo from Soldier Field in Chicago, as well as a full ticket for "Police" that has two punch holes but is otherwise in EX condition. The photo has a caption on the back and appears EX.
