    - Stabalized camera shake
    - Added another brief clip from the same angle of Dempsey trying to cut off Tunneys movement with a body jab and side stepping.
    - Refined speed accuracy

    "Color" adds so much in understanding how good the old-timers really were.

    I thought it was Tunney but wasn't sure. Thanks for the confirmation.

    Agreed...color really means nothing to me...in fact, I usually think of it as an artificial construct....adding nothing to the graphics of a film or video that I'm watching. I've always preferred those old classic b/w movies anyway.

    Tunney always has been the first modern looking fighter to me.

    Tunney is a great fighter. He gets a decent bit of flak for some reason. For me though he's a master mechanic in there
