Les Darcy Film I made

To all you guys who have made video tributes, here is one I did a few years ago, I made a few mistakes but what do you think of my effort ?

I made a part 2 but it has disappeared from youtube but i do have it in my computer somewhere. Part 2 is all from the George Chip fight, Part 1 has highlights of all the other known films of him. Featured are Jimmy Clabby, Eddie McGoorty (first fight), George KO Brown and some with Dave Smith.

That is good to hear, yes Les was excellent in many facets of the game, he is more modern looking than most of that time.

With the Clabby fight, Jimmy later admitted he was not prepared to attempt to fight Darcy as he says he knew he couldn't beat Darcy or hurt him and he wanted to just try and box Les, he also said they were already close friends by this time so Les had no desire to knock Clabby out, they were also very fatigued if I remember correctly as i think both men had fought hard fights just a couple of weeks prior and I think Darcy's fists were still very sore and swollen from the previous fight... I shall go and look into it....

The KO Brown footage shows Les in good form, from the bit of footage we have he really appears to be giving Brown a lesson but Brown also looks very tough and durable,

In the McGoorty film which is of poor quality Darcy is brilliant and giving McGoorty a savage beating, unlike Clabby, McGoorty had reied to knock Les out in several rounds but unable to make Darcy give ground, instead he just made Darcy hit him harder and more often. The end of the fight is brutality at it's best, he simply destroyed Eddie in both fights.

 

On checking the records, Darcy had fought Dave Smith on the 16th of august 1916 and then Clabby on the 9th of september 1916 which is about three weeks later. Clabby had a longer break between this Darcy fight and his fight against Fritz Holland by TKO in the 6th round two months and one day earlier.

 

Darcy had ten fights in 1916, his last on the 30th of September. In 1915 darcy fought 13 times, When he had his first fight with Jeff Smith, his first fight of 1915, Les Darcy was just 19 years old and one month and three weeks old... now that is a stunning fact, here he is, fighting for a world title belt against one of the best middleweights there ever was, an ATG and still a teenager. He also beat Smith, McGoorty, Clabby, Holland, Gus Christie, Mick King and Frank Loughrey all before he turned 20 years of age... His last fight was before he turned 21...... now that is amazing, I cannot comprehend a teenage middleweight fighting guys of that calibre let alone beating all of them.

 

Thanks for the suggestions, problem I had was that I wanted to feature all his filmed opponents and make it so people would know who he was fighting, as for the music I wanted to make it appropriate as I think something really modern sounding would clash with such old film. What sort of music would you put in ?

 

I have read about him a bit but I will need to look into the facts before I say anything mate.

 

Get back to on that mate, AC/DC have few songs that might fit, TNT ?
