    Just found this site ,if you scroll down, you can find some interesting clips, including a 3 rounder purporting to have George Dixon as one of the protagonists, it's a staged affair ,but my question is , is it Dixon?
    Perhaps Great A, or one of the other regular film posters might be able to give a conclusive answer?

    Seen that before.
    Yes, it's definitely Dixon.

    I haven't seen that Dempsey sparring footage before though. He looks quite old there, but it says 1927. I wonder which stadium that is ?
