    Okay so now we've seen a short snipped of him putting on a clinic and this, where he's totally out toughing his opponent when past his best, ripping his man viciously with short shots inside and keepingf the distance closed, relentless.

    Ultimately though it's him getting battered. Still felt you'd find it interesting:good

    I remember a quote Ledoux's manager said to, I think, an English referee,something like,"Driscoll will look good for maybe 8 rds,after that, 27 will beat 40".
    I think I am right is saying that Driscoll allready had the beginnings of consumption when he fought Ledoux .
    Charles Cordell wrote a fictionalized account of his life, it is very readable.

    Are they all from that Rare Boxing guy?!?!?!?

    Cheers TGA, that guys channel is sick.

    God, Baker could whack. Am I right in thinking Satterfield stopped him? If I'm right that's another explosive short fight.

    The Bivins footage, whilst suffering from being sped-up and bad framing, gives us an indication of how good Bivins jab was and strong he was to go with his small movements at mid-range to set up his big shots.

    The Satterfield K.O is explosive. I really rate Satterfield as a hitter, and that footage just re-confirms that belief.
