    Pep/Saddler II doesn't exist on film, or if it does has not been made open to the public.

    There's some good footage out there, here's a couple of good clips:

    Pep vs Ray Famechon

    Pep vs Gil Cadilli

    im sure its on film i saw it on KOTV it was brilliant pep was in and out constantly but maybe it was one of those moments like the guy showing people the film of dempsey taking the metal out of his glove then no one could find the film again

    it definitly wasnt the other pep saddler fights as pep won

    good vids though

    You're claiming to have seen Pep/Saddler II in it's entirety when noone else has, and most believe it to not exist?

    Did Pep win the fight you saw?

    This was honestly my first real good look at Pep, thanks for the up load.
    I would still like to see the round he supousedly won without throwing a punch if it dose exest. I would also like to see the scorecards for that round as well.

    That's a myth, you'll never find it, as footage of it doesn't exist.

    An old guy on youtube talks about the Pep-Saddler II fight. He was there and claims it wasn't the fight some make it out to be. By his account it was a dull affair with lots of holding.

    Yea I remember seeing that video of him saying that it was more clinching than the beautiful boxing display by pep its described as.

    Didn't the Ring have a review of Pep-Saddler 2 at the time to compare to how that gentleman saw it? Still it wouldn't suprise me if it wasn't as great as we've been told after Don Riley's account of the Graves-Pep 3rd round was debunked by another ring side reporter of the day. If Pep boxed like he did in their 3rd bout though it was likely a beaut of boxing display.
