HOLMAN WILLIAMS in action, on film.

BTW, you should post "15 Seconds" here.

 

Oops! Thought that was a link to youtube or something. These gusty Santa Ana winds that are buffeting L.A. are playing havok with my processing abilities!

 

Reasonable points, he was obviously defensively sound but would you teach a fighter to fight with some of those mistakes?

Pretty much, I can't criticise him or praise him too much from the footage because there's 17 seconds of it. Goto say this thread excited me and then disappointed me, but thanks to the OP none the less

 

How much known recorded footage is there of williams?

 

I am. Thats a ****ing **** painting.

 

Has Burt Beinstock seen this - I think he'd like this for sure

 

he looks great

nice combo's

interesting how he throws the right hook to body

 

Thx for posting btw, I find it odd tapes of these fighters weren't more highly prized by fans at the time, maybe they weren't as interested in rewatching fights. Then again I suppose video technology wasn't as accessible either

 

This is amazing. A pure gem, thank you very much for sharing with the rest of us.

I know in Camden Market, London there were some still images taken from a film reel on a market stall selling random photos, newspapers, pages from books ect.

There were 12 in a display type folder and they looked to me like Williams vs Cocoa Kid, after waiting there with my dad for almost 30 mins and the man on the next stall saying the woman who owned the stall had gone to eat we decided to go for some food then return , only to find the full stall gone and we were told she had gone home. The 12 stills were priced at £5, every time i have been back the stall is never there.

 

Wide right to the body, brus. no hook.They actually sometimes end up illegal punches the way robinson throws them imo, often ending up too far round the back of the opponent.that might have been half the point though.

McCallum used them a fair bit as well, as far as more modern fighters go.
