Tragic 1951 photograph of boxer George Flores being knocked unconscious in his bout with Roger Donoghue at Madison Square Garden. Flores would never regain consciousness and die from this blow! Issued by the Associated Press and stamped on the back, this is an important double weight piece of boxing history that is being offered here for the first time ever. There is a crease at the top but otherwise it presents pretty well. An incredible image with tragic overtones.
