    First minute or so doesn’t even look like a real boxing match.

    Corbett is very unimpressive for me.

    I would pick Fitzs over these fellers.

    Can I ask - in what way is it enhanced?

    How does it being in colour make the viewing experience better?

    I'm not denying it does for a majority of people, because that's attested to - but i'm completely missing it. What is it i'm completely missing?

    Sorry I was thinking about the shorter version uploaded a while ago

    https://www.boxingforum24.com/threads/corbett-vs-fitzsimmons-in-color.633875/

    Also the fight is still pretty unwatchable for me

    I sat through the whole thing once and dealt with the bad fps and quality. The color doesn't really help here. I think his efforts would be better suited for high quality black and white fights

    My opinion remains that Fitz looks like a good puncher and Corbett looks like a discount Tunney

    Pretty sure Compton's version is the most 'advanced' you can get.

    And I posted cause it was interesting. I like d browns vids.

    I guess you're missing what you're completely missing?

    I only watched it for the shorts if I'm being honest.

    Loads of people like looking at it, no dispute that it's a worthwhile post.

    I just can't quite figure why people like it so much.

    Mind you, I wasn't overexcited about the Peter Jackson WW1 project either, and people lost their **** for that.

    For some reason people like Corbett Fitzsimmons alot. Got 4 responses basically immediately. Seems to stir discussion.

    Yet my Jim Driscoll thread...

    Heavyweight threads are always gonna be like that bud.

    I replied to the Driscoll thread for what it's worth, even if I didn't have much to contribute
