Original 1921 action photograph from the heavyweight title fight between Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentier in New Jersey. A dramatic piece of boxing history that shows Carpentier on the floor of the ring after a powerful blow by Dempsey and with the referee holding his hands in the air to count Carpentier out! Bold and precise, this is a fantastic image which has a cool notation on the back that notes this was the knockout blow! Issued by Underwood and Underwood and stamped on the back with a full paper caption as well, this is from their archives and is just the second we have ever seen.
