Great videos! The cameraman really captured Mickey Walker's excellent footwork and balance both of which are critical to a boxer's fight plan. I'm planning on watching more of those old gems.
Louis thanks for showing these old clips of Jack Sharkey training for his second bout with the Italian Goliath Primo Carnera, in which the temperamental Sharkey was suspiciously stopped in the 6th round.... And the tall blonde fighter speaking with Jack Sharkey in the film was the terrific but ill-fated Ernie Schaff who died in the ring after being stopped by Primo Carnera a short while later....Sad to see Ernie Schaff in this clip... Such is fate ! The next guy training was the great but forgotten Jimmy McLarnin who was a helluva welterweight...I love these old training films of the 30s and 1940s....Bring them on.....
Glad you guys liked them and glad i looked on youtube. Some of the film around is pretty good and its always good to both see and hear guys like Walker and Sharkey speak and if lucky sparr. Yes mr b, that was both schaff and mclarlin in there also
I mentioned Mickey Walker in a thread that got removed yesterday for some reason , i have enjoyed reading and watching parts of Mickeys career for years now and apart from Wilde he is my favourite fighter of days long gone , his effort fighting Max Schmelling was one of the bravest attempts by a smaller guy v a heavy that i ever saw , thanks for sharing Louis 54.
