Cool. I like stuff like this - video of uncelebrated in-between fights involving past greats. I wonder what Clayton saw there to call a halt to the fight? I saw a right hand there catch Russell, but it didn't seem to hurt him that badly. Was he cut? Also... I assume the source of so many of these films like the first video is the Jim Jacobs / Bill Cayton collection. Is that Jacobs himself providing the "commentary", obviously added later?
