Pedroza came closest to doing this against Pat Ford of anybody I saw applying it with force. (Ali's bolo punch on Dunn was more of a sham, as a...
There is footage of Robinson using a bolo like right. Vintage instructional literature does caution that the safe and effective application of the...
I think Earnie might have granted Norton the first shot. He may well have looked at Foreman-Norton and decided, "I can do that!" (Unlike Leon...
Closer to a four year difference. Jack was born on March 31, 1878, Jess on December 29, 1881. Beyond that though, Willard was a relatively young...
That's just it. Technically, how do you get details like blood just right on a black and white boxing film? Dempsey had a very dark tan in that...
Well, Fireman Flynn III was the only scheduled 45 rounder of Sam's career, he'd just turned 27, and was performing for the movie camera. We don't...
Could he stop Willard, or are you proposing that a win over the full distance is feasible?
All right then. Let's go with 208. (He was certainly ripped for Jeff.) Does a 37 or 38 year old Johnson somehow manage to prevail in a 45 round...
Jess, as champion, probably would have dictated another 45 round limit, effectively a fight to the finish. Lil' Artha' was already 37 years old by...
I think a peak 1969-1971 Frazier would have had a tough row to hoe in winning a first time match against Foreman, although I don't rule it out. In...
Benitez was described by Palomino as the lightest hitter he ever fought. ("Tap, tap, tap" was how Carlos described it.) SRL protested vehemently,...
If these films are indeed in private hands, and have been clandestinely shown over the years, then it wouldn't be surprising if they have been...
Cervantes was good at this. (Many are of the mind that a one punch knockout off the ropes is the most exciting punch in boxing.)...
We're very fortunate in the respect that the action footage we do have is of a 28 year old Burley in early 1946. If not peak, at least he's still...
Well, here is where American jingoism rears it's ugly head. The late 1950s was not seen as a particularly strong period in heavyweight boxing. But...
