Boxing, Benny Lynch v Small Montana (b/w photo)
8671602 Boxing, Benny Lynch v Small Montana (b/w photo) by English Photographer, (20th century); Private Collection; (add.info.: Boxing, Benny Lynch v Small Montana. Small Montana, the Filipino and America's claimant for world flyweight title, lost his bid to Benny Lynch, 23 years old Glasgow lad. Here Lynch has cleverly avoided Montana's left lead by ducking. Lynch won the title originally from Jackie Brown, though the New York State Commission claimed Montana as champion, and his defeat of Montana at Wembley cleared the air, made him king of the flyweights and further revealed him as the best since the days of Jimmy Wilde.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense moment of a boxing match between Benny Lynch and Small Montana. The Filipino fighter, Small Montana, was America's claimant for the world flyweight title but ultimately lost to the 23-year-old Glasgow lad, Benny Lynch. In this particular moment captured by the English photographer, Lynch skillfully avoids Montana's left lead by ducking with precision.
Lynch originally won the title from Jackie Brown, but there was controversy surrounding Montana being claimed as champion by the New York State Commission. However, Lynch's defeat of Montana at Wembley Stadium solidified his position as king of the flyweights and proved him to be one of the best since legendary boxer Jimmy Wilde.
The photo exudes raw energy and determination as these two fighters battle it out in the ring. The intensity on their faces is palpable, showcasing their dedication to their craft and passion for boxing. This historic moment in boxing history is beautifully captured in this striking image that highlights both the physicality and mental agility required in such a demanding sport.
