    The first 1:43 is from Steve Compton’s sample of Gans-Nelson, from 1:44-2:57 it’s from a documentary, from 2:59-7:45 is from the hour long Gans-Nelson footage available on YouTube, and the rest is from a deleted Smooth Legends video. I zoomed in and adjusted the speed a bit on some of the footage. This is the best highlight reel you’ll get of the fight as of right now.

    Gans looks great, even when the footage gets blurry you can see some of his technical mastery.

    It's hard to make heads or tails of the action as it moves along. The first batch of footage isn't bad. Nelson is missing badly, giving the crowd some free airconditioning with his fanning blows. I seem to remember seeing better footage of this bout. Is it just YouTube that is messing with it?

    Gans looked very modern, great footwork. Nelson looked very crude although he did good work inside.

    This channel Ringwise released round 7 footage that looked pretty good.

    I agree, it’s quite surreal to watch Gans since he’s not just modern, he’s fighting like an elite modern fighter with the way he times his punches and defends himself.
