Default Bond Bread + Boxing photo ID

I got these with a boxing lot I won with Lelands.

The Bond Bread cards concern me, because I think one is a fake. The one on the right was ungraded, and thin stocked (I believe real). The one on left was graded by a no-name company (and was harder to break out than a Beckett!!). It is slightly darker and slightly heavier stock (although still thin). I believe this on is fake. Were Bonds reprinted or were there variations in stock thickness, printing quality ??? Opinions very welcome !!

The second question is of this boxing photo. I have to say the boxer on left is Jack Sharkey. The boxer on the right, based on Sharkey's opponents, and pure ethnic profiling I am "assuming" to be Emilio 'King' Solomon (Panamanian). I can find no photos online of Solomon. The photo measures 7 x 9.25 inches. It seems, to an untrained person, to be on original stock. It is in good over all shape, and the faults are on the photo. Sharkey/Solomon fought twice. Once in 1925 at Brave's Field, and in 1926 at Mechanic's Hall, Boston. Opinions ??????????????
