This type of wrestling is considered "Hindu style" and it has slightly different rules than regular wrestling, including prohibiting holds beneath the waist. During the match, the first three rows were roped off and the press and referees wore rubber wear to protect from mud splatter. Szabo won the match in front of more than 8000 spectators Handwritten annotation from nitrate negative: Sandor Szabo vs. Prince Bhu Pinder Text from original nitrate sleeve: Wrestling; Szabo, Sandor vs. Pinder, Bhu, Prince
