Description: Hardcover. Broadside. Printed on blue and red on cardstock. Measuring 14" x 10.5". Two small nail holes from posting, very faint dampstains in the margins, and light overall age-toning, very good. A poster for a triple feature film showing. The boxing film *The Fight Never Ends* was released in 1949. *Lucky Ghost*, a comedic short featuring the much underrated black comic Mantan Moreland was released in 1942 as *Lady Luck* but later re-titled and re-released. The "Extra" Turpin vs. Sugar Ray Robinson reel refers to the rematch of the Welterweight Championship bout. In July of 1951 English boxer Randy Turpin surprised Sugar Ray Robinson with only his second defeat, winning the World Welterweight title; Robinson won the title back two months later in the return match. This showing of the film was about two weeks after the rematch.
