On July 5, 1964 in Solna, Sweden, Floyd Patterson and Eddie Machen met in the main event in an important heavyweight contest. Patterson won via a 12 round decision. Offered here is a very rare, on site poster from the Rasunda Fotbollstadion, Solna. This is an original, paper poster which pictures both fighters. The Associated Press reported at the time: ""Floyd Patterson decisively outpointed Eddie Machen in their 12 round bout here last night before 40,000 at the Rasunda outdoor stadium. Except for the 7th round, which Machen won with a stinging right to the jaw, Patterson dominated the fight with his familiar peekaboo guard and lightning fast series of kangaroo rushes. Teddy Waltham, the British referee and sole arbiter, scored it, 59-49".
The poster has been professionally lined on Japanese paper and linen. A few spots have been retouched where there was some minor paper loss. 27.75 x 39.5 inches. An extremely scarce and beautiful looking poster.
