    Does anyone have any actual primary source evidence that Corbett-Sharkey II was filmed? I have read in various secondary sources that it was, but I can find no mention of it being filmed in the primary sources, nor any discussions about what the films revealed, if anything.

    For what it is worth, Jim Jacobs wrote an article in The Ring back in the early sixties listing some of the ancient fight films, but I don't remember this one being named, only Corbett-McCoy.

    Jeffries-Monroe was filmed, but deteriorated over the years. A terrible loss.
