    Hard to tell who is who but looks very much in shape and active type of fighter. About all I can ascertain from that footage. Still nice to see something

    What’s interesting is the person posting - only has one boxing video up. Which is unusual. It’s all football and this, wonder why and how this person has this

    It's a long story, but Risko is my grandfather. Someone sent this video to his niece, and she sent it to me. The football videos are games that I played or coached in, which I know most of those players don't have copies of the games. It's always fun to go back and watch. Anyways. If anyone knows of any other Risko footage out there. Please send it my way. Thanks!

    wow that’s quite interesting. Your grandfather was some fighter. The man to speak to here for rare footage is a poster that goes by klompton.. I’m not sure if he could help you or not, or if he would be willing to part with any footage he has, but he could point you in right direction. He also would probably want more verification that you are who you say you are. thanks for posting this video I really appreciate it!
