Just saw the best copy of the fight i ever saw, and a thought came to me..because the hand cranked camera was taken from a perch many,
many feet above the ring. Because of the height of the camera, we cannot appreciate the size of Willard, [ 6ft.6" ], and how Dempsey had to
punch abnormally high to reach Willards jaw...If Dempsey punched straight
his punches would most likely have landed on willard's chest...Today with modern filming taken from ringside height,and normal speed, we would
understand better what was seen at ringside July 4,1919 at Toledo...
Not for nothing was Dempsey of 1919 called a man-killer...
