The panorama shows the crowd gathered at Colma, California, on July 4, 1907, for the heavyweight title bout between Tommy Burns and Bill Squires. Colma sat just outside San Francisco, where prizefighting was banned, so promoters staged the fight across the county line. The camera is aimed from a moving picture stand, a reminder that the bout was being recorded for audiences who could not attend. Burns, the reigning champion, won by a 20th-round knockout, and the film of the contest drew large crowds in the years that followed.
