*HM 243*-- Corbett-Fitzsimmons Fight --
NOTES:
This is a highly residential area that is out of the 'tourist row'.
Description:
Promoter Dan Stuart put on a clean show and demonstrated that boxing need not be brutal or crooked. Other states were soon to liberalize their own prizefight laws and the sport began to assume a degree of respectability it had not enjoyed in the past. In later years, Nevada was to be the scene of several other world championship fights... but it was this one that started it all.
~ After a recent visit, as of 2008, this marker is now gone!
