Synopsis
Edison summary: Shows the famous boxing horses in a bout of two rounds. After the gloves have been placed on the forelegs of the two coal black stallions they go to their corners and are fanned by their trainers. A pony then jumps into the ring, and by shaking his head introduces the "boxers" to the audience. The boxers then take their positions, and rearing on their hind legs "punch" each other in professional style. The gong sounds and they go to their corners. In the next round after a minute of fierce fighting, one of the horses drops to his knees, and is counted out. The pony again appears and announces the winner.
