A glass negative dated March 23, 1920, carries the caption "Bob Moha, Middleweight Champion," though the Bain News Service's own title data is unverified, so the claim itself should be read with some caution. The Bain News Service, run by George Grantham Bain in New York, supplied newspapers with pictures of athletes, politicians, and public events, and boxing was one of its steadiest subjects during the early 1920s. Portraits like this one were made quickly for newspaper deadlines, which is why they often survive with only a name and date on the cards that came with them.
