    This is as good quality as you'll see for a 1930's fight.

    This is Tommy Loughran vs. Maurice Strickland

    This is the same Tommy Loughran who has one of the most stacked resumes in boxing history. He fought Greb, Tunney, Farr, Baer, Sharkey, Schaff, Levinsky, Braddock. He fought Superheavyweight Impelletiere twice, and won. He lost to Carnera.

    This fight is towards the end of his career.

    Wow thank you! It seems like there has been an influx in older higher quality video recently!

    Lots of film archives have begun to put their footage on youtube these past couple years.

    Amazing stuff keep cropping up.


    And as software gets better and better, this footage will eventually look even way better.

    I wish Tunney and Loughran could've had a second fight. Film of that wouldve been nice to see.
