Resumo:The famous boxing match between Luis Ángel Firpo and Hack Dempsey, which took place in September 14th, 1923 at the Polo Grounds in New York, United States of America, will be analyzed following the sociocultural history of the Argentinian written press. The starting point is a quantitative and qualitative analysis of primary sources from the newspapers La Prensa, La Nación, La Razón y Crítica, in order to highlight and set up a dialogue between the discourses and concepts that were distributed and produced about the masculinity and the nationality. The hypothesis affirms that great part of the written press, using one of the most important sport events of the 20’s, produced and legitimized some parts of Argentinian masculinity and nationality, over the American ones.
