[GIF] Jim Corbett lands a sharp 5 punch combo on Fitzsimmons in under a second

The thing is, there is a difference of opinion as to how many punches are landed /thrown here.It could possibly 5 but I'm seeing 3 at most, and I have no horse in this race one way or the other.

 

Another example of so very many of film quality hiding boxing skills.

 

Looks like he throws two jabs to get in punching range then both hands to the body and head. Excellent.

 

It's a perfect Classicist scenario. The footage is so poor that they can "choose their own adventure" and create a fictional character with superpowers to fill in the blanks.

 

It's no Harry Greb career set in 4k, but it'll get the job done.

 

It seems to me its often a case of people seeing what they want to see ,consciously or unconsciously.
I think Reznik tries to share and inform with his clips,and for that we should be grateful, but I do find myself at odds with a lot of his interpretations of them.

 

At least its not like the modernists who have good footage yet still make up the science fiction monsters of today.

 

You can't argue measurables.

 

I see a double jab, followed by perhaps some kind of parry or control move with the right hand, and then a right to the head.

Regardless, very cool clip.

 

That's not true. Taking numbers at face value in sports is every bit as reductive as simply relying on myth.

 

But you can argue skills.
