absolutely fucking awesome photos bringing back a time and a place that we would never imagine in our lifetimes, mind boggling shit, just incredible and so intriguing.

White Heavyweight Championship of the world - 1913 Pelky vs McCarty
Tommy Burns’s Arena, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
McCarty was pronounced dead about eight minutes after the knockout, which came after about 2 minutes of fighting. The coroner’s jury decided that no blow had been responsible for McCarty’s collapse, but that death was due to a hemorrhage of the brain, probably caused by a previous injury. When told in his hotel room that McCarty had died, Pelkey broke down and cried like a child. The next day Tommy Burns’s Arena was destroyed by fire; arson was suspected. Calgary Herald.

Rocky was even smaller than Dempsey.

This never gets old to post or look at it. The circumstances around this fight and the fact that Don Kings logo was there will make this timeless photo had to top in “iconic”. Just the odds of his noggin alone landing in that spot is epic.

Iaminut wasn’t B.S.'n with his…great friggin photos- and such clear pictures.
