Dempsey vs Willard HIGH QUALITY VIDEO much better then youtube

Yeah there's pretty much no evidence of that, it was discussed here a bit back as there was a article written about it.

Good little find those videos, cheers for posting :good

 

Had a look now I'm back at home Dempsey footage was good clear stuff - although already have that clear version on DVD anyway but it is great - loved seeing the short clip of Jeffries and Corbett and the one of Baer pulling the bus what a nutter

 

Wow what great quality. Dempsey is like a tiger, and Williard actually looks more competent on the inside than I thought with those short shots. Oh man what a left hook... my freaking jaw dropped. Dempsey is very deceptive and eluding. I like how they broke up. It's like fighters these days need a ref to break up every clinch. Williard just puts up his arms and there is almost a brief peaceable agree for Dempsey to back off. They did it a hell of a lot more back in those days. Sure, they clinched, but they didn't hold on for dear life. Charles v Marciano I had some clinches but the ref never needed to break them up.

 

Here's a link to a site with many bits of news reel archive footage - basically just put in the name of whatever fighter you're looking for stuff on and see what it comes up with - there's a fair bit of Dempsey on their - lots of bits of training and sparring footage I haven't ever seen anywhere else - take a look

Dempsey looks like a 190 version of Manny Paq ...

 

yup, ive seen footage from this b4, interviews with ray robinson, floyd patterson, not a lot but has a few films from what i found.

 

Definitely, but at the same time it's seems good how fighters break a little quicker. Now fighters will just hold on until a ref FORCES them off each other. And that can be excessive and really hurting the flow of a fight.
