Jim Corbett/Gene Tunney Sparring Story

I recently gave an original picture of a sparring moment between Corbett and Tunney to Mrs Rudkin to pass on to Alan Jnr.

How much of a spar was this??? In the pic I had, Corbett appears in long dress pants and a woolen top. Tunney appears more appropriately dressed for such an occassion. The picture was also taken outdoors.

 

have you got it mendoza?

is that when Mrs Rudkin went over to Oz. You forgot to tell me how it went

 

Also, I believe this occurred on a rooftop in New York City.

 

I own Corbett vs McCoy sparring, and have seen Corbett vs Tunney.

Corbett vs. Mccoy sparring is not too hard to find. Corbett vs. Tunney is.

 

how did you see it

What a lot of cloak and dagger bull****,as in" I'm an archivist and historian".
The clips from this spar are readily available,there is a 3 min segment on the following website.

Orphan Film Symposium.blogspot.com.
Included are renactments of Firpo staggering Dempsey , in slow mo by Corbett and Tunney.
At the end of the clip Dempsey is shown sparring too .
This was taken for a series called on Sportlight Film.This episode is entitled " On Guard".I have seen this many times and also the original full length version ,which goes on for around 9 mins as I recall.

Its hardly Greb versus Tunney,no need for espionageatsch

PS. Check your pm but don't tell anyone. No dont, there's f**k all there

 

OK, I'm stupid. Where do you find that vid on that site?

 

You are far from stupid ,though sometimes I think you beleive the rest of us are.
Go to google type in Tunney Corbett sparring .
You will get two or three lines of crap which is us on here ,the first Orphan Symposium that comes up click on it, it will give you frames of the spar ,scroll down to near the end where it says play video click on it and away you go:good

 

In that case ,make sure your in by 10 pm:yep

 

im not trying to be cloack and dagger. Mendoza told me in good faith to keep in quiet and i am a man of my word.

I want every fight film to be released to everyone whats the point of being greedy and not havin nobody to talk about it with.

Also cheers for the link.

exactly

thanks

lol
