This picture of the new lightweight champion of the world, Ad Wolgast, appeared in The Chicago Daily Tribune the day after Ad defeated Battling Nelson in San Francisco, California on February 23, 1910. The article with the picture states this about Nelson: "His face battered to a pulp, his eyes closed, his lips puffed, covered with blood, and staggering helplessly about the ring, Battling Nelson, conqueror of Joe Gans, was saved from a knockout in the fortieth round of his fight with Ad Wolgast when Referee Eddie Smith humanely stopped a most unequal contest."
