Obv.: Nelson-Gans / pictorial / Sep. 3, 1906; Rev.: The Del Monte / Goldfield / Kapp & Revere; Wm, rd., 22 mm. The longest Championship fight in history at 42 rounds, took place in 100 degree desert heat in front of over 8000 fans. The film company making a movie of the fight ran out of film in the 38th round, so the ending has never been replayed. (Nelson disqualified for a low blow in the 42nd round.) Jack London reported on the fight and wrote "The Abysmal Brute," about Nelson. Teddy Roosevelt's son Kermit was also in attendance. State: Nevada City: Goldfield Date: 1906 ID# 77740
