    Looks like a fight in the lightweight division. Judging by the quality of the film, I would say it was filmed in the 1930's.

    The guy in the white when he in the corner with his back to camera reminds me a bit of Jake LaMotta but then when he starts dancing I'm going no it can't be

    The first fight is Tony Zale vs. Melio Bettina in the amateurs.

    The second fight is Zale's first fight with Al Hostak.


    I've uploaded both of them to my own channel, in slightly better quality.

    Excellent.


    Yeah, I found your version of the Zale-Bettina footage and put it up on the amateur footage thread. I should've twigged that it was the same stuff I was looking at here.

    :good
