    What do you think about this fight? George seems to have quite decent punch and the fight was quite fast paced.

    It's unbelievable that old Fitzsimmons took everything he gave based on reports without much struggles.

    Edit: here is the better quality version:

    Despite losing, I find that Jack Root looks much more 'modern' and technically sound than Gardner.

    W footage, makes a good account for the old timers
