    This is the best version I could find on YT, is there any better or more complete? I'd like to see younger and freshier Baer, he looked fun in this fight.

    I'd also like to know if we have any longer version of Heeney fight, as we can't see anything relevant from available video.

    I believe this is one of the oldest films in existence of Baer. There are two that are older though: 1) his first fight with Levisnky earlier that year, and 2) ringwise has a 15-minute clip of his fight with Paulino Uzcudun on film

    After losing his title Baer went through a lot of tough fights and he usually ate a lot of punches in them.

    I just looked at ringwise list and they have a few fights I am interested in - longer versions of Fitzsimmons vs Lang, Jeffries vs Ruhlin and Sharkey and Baer vs Uzcudun. They also have listed Fitz vs Jeffries, but it's probably not real fight. Interesting...

    The first Levinsky fight wasnt filmed. Wherever you saw that mentioned somebody probably got confused and called the second fight the first and their exhibition in Chicago which was filmed their second. Most lists refer to these as Baer-Levinsky 2 and Baer-Levinsky 3 (exh). Since technically their third meeting was an exhibition but Baer got angry and knocked Levinsky out. The Uzcudan fight film runs about 8 mins at the correct speed but the first two minutes or so footage of the undercard so theres really only about six minutes of the fight. Its a home movie taken from ringside by a spectator that jumps around quite a bit.

    You better get the hell off my back. You just wait around for people to say stuff so you correct. Nobody needs that. Good thing for you this is online, otherwise you would have been leveled a long time ago, probably a few times before by guys less gracious than myself.

    The guys I purchased from are retired or dead for the most part. Sweetfights has some good stuff though. I would steer clear of ringwise. Kurt Noltimier, who is ringwise, is the worst con man in the business.
