Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Fall 2012
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/30/2012
Boxing and ticket enthusiasts should be intrigued by this big stub from a fight considered to be one of the best of 1957. Reigning welterweight champion Carmen Basilio met defending middleweight champ Sugar Ray Robinson in a bout on September 23rd at Yankee Stadium that went the full 15 rounds. Accounts state that Basilio, cut over the left eye early, worked Robinson all over while taking everything that came his way to earn a split decision and the world middleweight title. "Working Press" stub measures 2-1/2" by 3-1/2" and has light, rather non-detracting creases, as well as paper loss along the lower reverse, resulting in one pin-size hole.
