Please say it is real
 

I bought this with the hope it is real. I don't imagine there is a big faking of boxers out there so please tell me I got the real deal. I have a lot of faith in the net54 family. I have never seen auto on cards for Abe Attell before and felt it was too good to pass up. If fake didn't break my bank account to get it. Thanks for any imput on this.

Here is an example of a genuine autograph:

Yours does not look good to me, especially the "Abe" which appears to be carefully drawn rather than signed with normal flow.

Here's a later in life, pretty sloppy Attell for comparison:

The number of fake autographs out there never ceases to astound...

Thanks guys. It seemed as he got older his signature changed a bit so I was just hoping that this was one of his changes. I also wasn't sure about that E but I was hoping because it was on the boxing car maybe he wrote it a little slower.
