Likely send-aways of some sort. Just about every boxing related publication of that time period had a section to order photos of past and present boxers out of. Most of the photos coming from multiple different sources unrelated to the publication itself.
All of those are pretty common poses except the Montanez and perhaps the Attell.
Nice score for the price though. The word "reproduction" probably drove plenty of clicks away from the auction. They are technically reproductions I guess, but they do seem vintage to the mid-1930's or so.
