Boxing, Blue Horizon, Philadelphia, PA

A black and white photograph capturing the intense expression of a man shouting or cheering, with his mouth wide open, at a public event. He is wearing a t-shirt with the text "THE MAKING OF A LEGEND" and is standing behind a barrier. Another individual is partially in the frame to his right, looking more subdued. In the background, various other spectators can be seen watching the event, with an exit sign visible in the upper right corner.
