    Aside from the Corbett fight, how much footage of Bob Fitzsimmons is still out there? And is any of it decent quality?

    I've only seen short clips from Lang. Does more than 3 minutes or so survive?

    Fitz vs Lang still remains. The film is clear and Fitz who was well past his prime was doing well until the end. I only have the final two rounds.

    Does the entire fight survive, or just the last two rounds. Also, where does one find it?

    Good question. The final two rounds are not hard to find. Will send you a pm later. Be warned Fitz goes out on his sheild.

    The Corbett and the Lang fight are the only ones which survived as far as I know.
