    I'm watching Ali-Moore and it's painful to watch.

    There are multiple YouTube channels that improve footage, however it's getting more difficult due to OfficialBoxingGodsInc flagging every video on old time boxing as if it's their own. I think they're associated with the IBHOF or ESPN in some way

    What ? I can see if it is a relatively new footage, but something from 70 years ago ? Everybody that was involved is dead! smh

    No one did it as good as SmoothLegends, but unfortunately his channel was deleted months ago. How I wish I downloaded all his stuff beforehand.

    AI is going to get rrreeaaaalllllyyyyyy good at fixing up old footage in the coming years. It's going to be awesome for old sports footage.

    Whoever keeps making those copyright strikes needs to knock it off though. Ugh. The best up-conversion I had seen was Holmes-Norton done to full HD, and it looked absolutely perfect, like it was a modern fight. And then it got taken down.

    Jimmy Jacobs was doing the exact same thing in the 50s-80s trying to claim that the commentary he added to the films made them worthy of copyright.

    AI basically proved the Patterson/Gimlin footage was real. I'm sure it can make Greb look skilled when we get some good fight footage.

    I miss SmoothLegends, his restoration of Dempsey - Tunney is a treasure and is still on @Pedro_El_Chef account I believe.

    Do you know about when it was deleted? If you do I may be able to work some magic
