    You're quite welcome ... whenever I stumble across any golden nuggets I like to share them even though the random insecure ***** may pass a comment about knowing about them forever ... the way I see it is that if they are new to me there is a fair shot they will be new to may others ... enjoy ...

    Oh, yeah. No, I knew about them since twenty years before they came out. I've watched both pieces thirty-eight times and have them completely memorized to the point where I could draw every frame of it and make a perfect animated copy of each video. I just meant thanks for reminding me that I've seen and perfectly memorized them and for introducing other, less knowledgeable posters than myself to the footage.

    I don't know too much about Willard as a person but he seemed like a real mensch on that clip.

    Dunno who's the guy sparring Dempsey at 4:33 on.
    Interesting close-up, showing Dempsey effective bob-waving and shoulder roll.

    Me too Burt ... I might have debated over his career decisions but to me he remains one of the great American sports stories of all time .. how a man can come from such a tough background, become champ and for decades after he retires he remains a gentleman and a class act ... no headlines of a drunken Dempsey causing troble or Dempsey was a wife beater, ect ... the way he morphed into such a class act is a huge part of the legend to me ... it's interesting to see how he was still a bit rough around the communication skills and seemed a bit uncomfortable about it but he pushed foward ... also nice to see at 70 he was completely alert and showed zero signs of dunch drunk syndrom ,,, pretty amazing actually ...

    He, Seeing the clip of Dempsey and Willard fooling around in their old age,
    a thought keeps reoccuring. Dempsey, so much shorter than Willard, had to punch UP, to reach Willard's chin. Not a natural way to hit with full maximum.! Try it...That being said, besides the hand cranked film of the
    fight in Toledo, is it any wonder that some of todays posters,, call the
    Manassa Mauler "primitive and OLD STYLE ".And are they WRONG !
    I try to be objective, but what a 180 pound Dempsey did to the
    never before floored Jess Willard, was an amazing feat of power..
    After all the murderous punching Joe Louis ,at 200 pounds couldn't
    stop a large punching bag until the 13th rd in 1941...Ringsiders to the
    Dempsey massacre of Willard raved about him, til the day they died.
    For they SAW the real Dempsey live,and in proper speed...Thanks again..
    P.S. I omitted the name Abe Simon, who Louis kod in 13 rounds...Yes, still my 2 favorite heavyweights Jack Dempsey and Joe Louis....
