    Oh man, another interesting tidbit.

    Here is a trailer for the Documentary dago posted.

    Notice the thumbnail! Jack Johnson!
    Strangely, that clip is not in the trailer, which means there is a chance that they colorized Johnson footage as well, and may use it for another episode.

    No problem, I hope you I enjoy them as much if not more than I did!

    Great films. Really brings the past alive.

    What jumped out at me was how well dressed the men watching Dempsey hit the big bag were. All in ties and three piece suits. A suit must have been a lot cheaper in those days.

    Its fair to say the myth that fighters from that era weren't as muscular as fighters today, has been debunked.

    I honestly thought that Firpo was higher in bodyfat, for a boxer, but from the colorized film you can see he was all muscle.

    Wow. It's exactly the same as black & white... but with colors.

    240p is exactly the same as 4k, but with depth...

    H

    Is it animation? or am I seeing exactly what it looked like? I've seen the b/w footage but how did they make something that isn't there??
