    Christ Mendoza, you must move through the boxing landscape like a blind and deaf sloth not to have known by now that Jofre vs Harada footage was widely available.:lol:

    Honestly,a man with an ounce of integrity would log off now and never return.Or at least create a dubious alias tbh.

    Burt, you saw Pep vs Saddler 2 more than once on TV? Perhaps that would suggest it may not be lost after all?

    Yes HB I saw the original bout on our small Emerson tv with our neighbors in 1949 and a few times later on from recording from the original telecast...Too bad today we cannot see the original tape of the tv program...Pep past his uncanny wily reflexis of his
    pre plane crash prime was a Houdini that night against the rough and tumble wiry Sandy Saddler...

    Why didn't you record it on a VHS?

    How old are you???

    By the way, I have one minute of the fight, so there is still hope.

    pep saddler 2 - same reason as everyone else
    charles burley 1or2 - gotta be good
    jackson corbett - need to know what went down
    robinson lamotta 2 - or 1, or 3
    welsh leonard 1 or 2 - two close to prime greats, welsh driscoll was close but not so exciting

    Is it a footage clip from an ESPN program?

    Some good picks:

    Jackson-Corbett - Would be fascinating...save perhaps for the last third.

    Greb-Tunney II - A competitive fight that most thought Greb won.

    Robinson-Gavilan - Ray must have been at his very best to outdo the Hawk.

    Liston-Folley - The odd one out when it comes to Liston's filmed destructions.

    Leonard-Welsh - Not only a complete Benny fight but one in which he flaunts his unheralded power.

    Burt, many reporters were undecided about Pep's true condition post-crash, though most agree he served up one of his best the night he turned the tables on Sandy.

    The few clips ESPN have shown in documentaries appear to be from that historic night and depict Pep moving beautifully while firing his jab in quintuples.

    There is no footage of the second fight. Not even a couple of minutes.

    You could be right Klompton. I have a minute of a Pep- Saddler fight labelled as their second fight. It could be wrong, but on the other hand why should I trust you?

    Several years ago I helped you and send you some fight you were looking fir, but I never got the fight you promised me in return.

    I don´t hope that you stopped responding because I did not accept to give you a lot of money so you could buy footage from a Californian TV archive with me having a secret copy,

    I could easily be wrong - But send me the fights you owe me before I trust you. You know my e-mail address as I have tried to contact you lots of time since you suddenly stpped answering my mails.

    You didnt get the fight i told you id send IF i got it (wasnt part of our trade, you got everything we traded for) because you immediately turned around and traded away or sold what you got from me despite saying you wouldnt (yeah, I found out about that almost immediately, its a small community). Dont burn me and then try to publicly shame me when you get cut off. If you want to mistakenly believe you have footage of pep-saddler 2 it makes no difference to me. Just dont sit there and pretend I owe you anything which wasnt part of our original agreement which you didnt honor anyway. Whether you trust me means nothing to me because you showed what your trust is worth and thats why I stopped answering your emails. People who can actually be trusted know that I always come through for them regardless the footage of the money involved and there are plenty on here who can attest to that. The ones who ***** and moan about me are the ones who get something from me that nobody else has and it suddenly starts appearing on sellers lists. As if I cant trace that, sorry, I have no sympathy for those people and if they are planning on burning me or lying to me then they can expect the same.

    Keep this for PM. Any further posts on the above will be deleted. Nobody wants to see this nonsense in public.
