Lloyd, Alan. Coward McCann & Geoghegan. 1977. First American Edition.  Hardcover.  Fine/Fine.

A highly colourful telling of the story behind the 1860 bare-knuckle prize fight between American John C. Heenan and Britain's Tom Sayers.  Forty-two brutal rounds of illegal pugilism in what was likely the best attended prize fight to that time - and a precursor of title fights to come.   A wonderful story vividly told - and a book in fine fighting trim.
