I love old gambling & saloon pictures! Such an honorable profession at the time to be a "sporting man". My grandmother's youngest brother was a sporting man & she was always embarrassed by that.

does that say 20 rounds?

20 rounds ???!!!

awesome pic
The referee in the ring sort of looks like Wyatt Earp with that mustache but Earp never refereed another fight after throwing the heavyweight fight as referee in San Francisco in 1896. Never prosecuted but subject to much reticule he left for Nome, Alaska & the Gold Rush the following yr.
