    I found this little snippet on the British Pathe account on YouTube, then I adjusted the speed and tried making it more normal. Here's the result:

    Now fix up your Greg film.

    Amazing that in those days the main guys didn't wear headgear, got cut maybe a week out from the fight and just put a bandaid on it,
    and sparring a couple days before the fight.

    They are wearing headgear in the footage, albeit not the most protective ones.

    Nosferatu has a film of me?

    If it's the one involving the gerbil, vaseline, mini basketball net (what a waste of a purchase that ended up being), forceps & ended in a trip to the hospital, it's been proven in a court of law that it was of my twin brother.

    If he invites you round to watch it on his sofa with him, I strongly suggest you decline.

    There are few moment of sublime greatness in this footage, footwork, shoulder posture. Would love to see this time corrected.
