In 1934 the two top contenders for the opportunity to fight Max Baer were Art lasky and King Levinsky. Here the duo battle in Chicago for the chance to fight the champ. The fight would end in a draw (Lasky had won the previous match) but both would find themselves on the outside looking as James Braddock would sweep in and take the title before either could cement their claim. A rare image that is like a snapshot in time in boxing hisory, issued by Acme and in great shape.
