    Until now, I was only aware of footage of Carlos Monzon’s fights from his bout with Benvenuti onwards.
    But I recently discovered an Argentinian film archive that actually has footage of one of his earlier bouts (against Manuel Severino 1969). It also includes early footage of other fighters (Nicolino Locche and many others). The videos are on youtube too, though not that easy to find.

    The archive:

    Here's Monzon’s fights against Severino:

    Outstanding. I have some of this on an old VHS tape from years ago but this is better quality than I remember. What a wrecking ball of a middleweight. He reminds me of a 160 pound Liston.
