    Some of the best footage available of Charles on Youtube.

    Brilliant.

    Charles was hitting him with some real solid left jabs prior to the end too. Hard jolting jabs.
    Charles was no creampuff puncher, he was 189 pounds of menace for sure.

    Impressive.

    Bernie had been knocked out in four of his previous seven fights entering this bout.

    Ooff!

    I had to watch twice because I couldn't take my eyes away from Charles' footwork.

    Bernie was clearly brought in there to lose against a returning Ezzard Charles but for the most part he had been taken out by good punchers such as Rocky Marciano, Danny Nardico and Joe Baksi in his recent bouts.

    Damn good footage, Charles threw every shot with bad intentions, including his jab, yet was still silky on his feet. Perfection.

    I'm surprised by how smooth his footwork is..... let's not forget, this is a natural lightheavyweight at 189lbs ! Outstanding combinations, Reynolds was outclassed.

    Mean puncher. That is one stiff jab, good combinations and footwork and the left hook? Just extraordinary. A true great.

    He resembles Robinson an awful lot in that vid.
