On offer are the fight worn handwraps from each fighter, which were signed by both fighters in the dressing room, immediately following the fight. OSCAR De La HOYA has signed both his wraps and has added the rare notation "GOLD '92" on each wrap. This, of course is in reference to his Gold medal win in the 1992 Olympics. Only his very early autographs were signed with this Olympic reference. Mike "Kid Irish" Grable has signed both of his wraps and has also added the date and his fight record noting his loss to OSCAR. Also, included is the original onsite FIGHT POSTER for the fight. This UNIQUE collection of, future boxing hall of famer, OSCAR De La HOYA original fight worn memorabilia is now for sale.

TOMMY BURNS Noah Brusso
Tommy Burns (real name Noah Brusso) was the smallest (5 ft. 7 in.) and sometimes most belittled of the heavyweight champions. Canadian born in 1881, he began boxing in 1900. When Jim Jefferies retired, Jack Root was paired against Marvin Hart to fight for the vacant title. Hart won, but lost to Burns over 20 rounds on Feb. 23, 1906. Tommy made four defenses in America, then went abroad and bested the British champion and several others. He fought in France, then went to Australia, where he made two successful defenses of his crown. However, on that fateful Boxing Day 1908, in Sidney, Jack Johnson toyed with "Mr. Tommy" (the three-to-one favorite). Tough Tommy Burns hung on until the 14th round when the cops stepped in to stop the bout. On offer is an original photograph boldly signed and inscribed by Tommy Burns in dark blue fountain pen "To Johnny Obbecke, One of the Best, Every Good Wish, Tommy Burns". It measures 6 inches x 4 inches and would display beautifully in a vintage frame This autographed photo comes from the recent Johnny Obeck estate sale. John Obeck fought around the 1900's under the names "Johnny Obeck" and "Johnny Leonard" and Johnny Obbecke". No Longer Available!
