THE DETROIT FREE PRESS, Michigan, February 6, 1943
* Jake LaMotta defeats Sugar Ray Robinson (1st defeat)
* Famous Middleweight boxing match
This 22 page newspaper has a very nice banner headline on page 14 reading: "18,930 See LaMotta Floor Robinson in Scoring Upset Victory" with subheads: "Defeat Is First for Ray in Career of 130 Bouts" "Bell Saves Sugar from Knockout in Eighth Round; Decision Is Unanimous".
Also a very nice four column action photo during the famous fight that was a focus in the award winning movie 'Raging Bull'. Better yet is that this fight was fought in Detroit, Michigan, making this title one of the best newspapers to be had reporting this historic boxing event.
Other news of the day. Light browning with little margin wear, more so on the back two leafs, otherwise in good condition.
