I know most people have already seen this footage but it's interesting to see the two display their moves even as old men. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fqod-seL8gw[/ame]
And keep in mind Harry Wills was the ref ... also interesting to note all the supposed hatred the other black fighters from his era were supposed to have tword Johnson is not visible here !
Not bad at all for a guy 67 years old. He still seems to have his defensive clinching and smothering moves well intact.
I have not seen this footage of 67 year old Jack Johnson before, and it's always great fun to come across this sort of thing for the first time. Jack can be heard making some remarks into the microphone. He had a good speaking voice and he was very articulate. Jack, Joe and Harry move well. They are remarkably strong, healthy looking, agile and speedy older men. It's hard to believe the age range they were in with a long history of many tough fights behind them when this film was made. Many thanks!
