Amazing Extensive Dempsey Footage - Pre Carpentier Fight

Awesome footage. Thanks for sharing HG:good

 

Why didnt he fight that black guy?

 

he, great stuff. Now ESB posters, just look at the tremendous difference
this clip of the PRIME 26 year old Dempsey, that moves around against his smaller sparring partners, compared to the 32 year old, legs shot, Dempsey of the Tunney fights,after a 3 year layoff !.Like day and night. THIS is the Dempsey that was voted the best heavyweight by a poll of boxing experts
in the 50s and early 1960s. The 32 year old Dempsey of the Tunney fights was an imposter. Thanks he.:good

 

Wow, that was great, It really showed Dempseys foot and hand speed. Good hard training and at the end he gets in that little rickity bed. Dempsey was a Beast. Thank you for sharing this.

 

he,Dempsey's weight was very decieving. He had dancers legs, and a small waist ,while ha was very broad on top with unusually developed deltoid muscles . His main asset was his welterweight-like speed and movement
on the attrack. And of course great two handed power,and a kill or be killed attitude. This combo, speed, power,and sheer toughness,when at his peak
made Dempsey very very tough to beat. Hell,even when he was a shell of himself, he eventually wore down a PEAK 25 year old Jack Sharkey and flattened Sharkey with one left-hook. And NO Dempsey didn,t hit Sharkey in the nuts.They were borderline at worst, but Sharkey was weakening from the body blows, and needed a good excuse for Dempsey to be disqualified.
Dempsey and Louis were not carrying around excess weight,as some
modern dreadnaughts carry today...Cheers he.

 

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing:good

 

Brilliant find

 

I laughed at the Chicken watermark. Very apt.

 

he, Do I detect a convert ?

 

Burt, I have a question, my friend.

How is it you are so determined it was a body shot and not a low blow.
