@negativeEclipse Thank you for your reply :)

That is a nice token. Very good condition. Is it made of copper? That looks like a bit of a mismatch,was Johnson the smaller of the boxers?It must be very valuable. Is it rare?

[creamofcardstv]

@bookcartpeddlerny Yes, its copper. Johnson was the smaller boxer and had to dance around the ring a lot in order to dodge Isaac's punches :) In some of the boxing matches at that time they disqualified you if you danced around too much but not in this particular one. It is quite rare. Thanks for popping by

@bookcartpeddlerny I don't think they bothered too much with weight divisions in those early days
