The former undisputed welterweight champion from 1951 to 1954, Kid Gavilan was named Fighter of the Year in 1953 by the Boxing Writers Association of America, and was voted the 26th greatest fighter of the last 80 years by Ring Magazine. These Corti model gloves are attributed to Gavilan's Sept 13, 1952 bout vs Eduardo Lausse (according to the LOA), and they are accompanied by a medical bag the gloves originally came in. Dark brown leather with a dirty label over the left glove, the lacing is intact, with cracking to the leather on each glove. The brown leather case with metal hardware has "Medico" stenciled to each side along with "L.P." at each end - with this for "Luna Park" according to the accompanying LOA from Julien's Auctions.
