Theres another part to this with Billy Conn being interviewed which is great also. It was done for a documentary that was never finished.
B, thanks for this video of one of my dad's favorite fighters, the great Jimmy McLarnin. Though he was a terrific right hand puncher, his ratio kos to wins doesn't show it, because of his breaking his right paw so often. My dad would tell me about the great group of McLarnin, Barney Ross, Tony Canzoneri, and Billy Petrolle, of the 1930s who fought each other time and again...Throw in the underated Lou Ambers in that mix.:good
Yes, and there is also a part with Joe Louis, Henry Armstrong, Willie Pep and Sandy Saddler. And also with Joe Frazier, Danny Lopez, Walcott and Alfonso Zamora.
Those all came from the same source as the Greb training footage. The University of South Carolina Movietone News archive. With Jeffries is his fighter Al Morro. There are a lot of good ones in that. My favorite is Philadelphia Jack O'Brien recounting his fight with Ketchel. Tommy Burns is another good one.
I met him when he was in his 90s and he was still lucid and dignified as well. I don't know how some boxers get out of it without much neuro damage and how others don't. So strange.
