This may indicate that this is pre Marquess of Queensbury Rules, published in 1867.
Whatever, it's an interesting photo.
Must resist going into funny caption mode......
Google "boxing tintypes" = lots of images. Including the "don't drop your tobacco" rules pose.

Cool, thanks. You weren't kidding - I just googled 'boxing tintype', and as you both mentioned, there are zillions of them.
Your pic with the bound-brim wide-brim western hat on the floor reminds me - I located this tintype originally because I was searching for photos with 1800's hats.
