This is a nice broadside, advertising a fight card for the Rialto Theatre in Reno on July 4, 1925. Featured bouts that night included Kid Magsambol (The Battling Filipino) vs. Frankie Novey, "Goldie" Smith vs. The Champion of Denmark Sven Helgerson (The Battling Dane), "Wildcat" Evasco vs Jack Spencer "The Pride of Reno’ and Jimmy Wallace vs. Eddie Artell. As you can see, these are not exactly household names in the sport, but this is a real slice of Americana. Broadside is framed and measures 22"x 28". It could use a good cleaning and perhaps a mounting on acid free paper for preservation purposes. There is staining and some tears.
