    a question to ESB : A few months ago on youtube I saw a film of Tommy
    Gibbons koing Jack Bloomfield.It opened my eyes this devastating ko,and
    helped me understand better the quality of Tommy Gibbons, Harry Greb,
    Gene Tunney etc.Like the Rossetta Stone of Egypt.Any info ESB, about
    this film on youtube months ago ?

    thats been removed from youtube i see.

    it's a perfect example of why people should save videos from youtube that are rare like that....youtube are closing accounts left and right for allsorts of silly reasons....that great video you may see on there today may not always be there...

    keepvid.com perfect for the job.

    dougie,I am not good at those technical things such as saving a film
    on youtube.What a loss for ESB posters, not to see this clip. It would
    have opened up eyes ! Hopefully the party that posted this film months ago ,will do it again..Thanks D....

    Great..It it possible to put this on youtube once more so the posters can
    judge more accurately, the calibre of fighter that middleweight Harry Greb
    licked. ? I know Jack Bloomfield wasn't the best ,but Gibbons looked mighty impressive in 1924.Four months later Gibbons stopped Kid Norfolk
    also.. Thanks...
