Lloyd Marshall destroys Freddie Mills

Thanks for uploading this, been looking for this for a while.

 

Impressive.

 

Thanks a lot GreatA - one of my very favourite fight films I've ever seen in all honesty - this is something is something I absolutely never thought existed - this is truly a peice of pure gold in terms of fight films for me - up there with the likes of Sam Langford-Iron Hague if someone were to release that for public viewing - what an amazing fighter Marshall was - the right hands at the 3:41 mark were just amazing - a masterful fighter - he reminds me occassionally (just some of the punches he uses) of Sugar Ray Robinson to - a real artiste in the ring

 

Did you notice his habit of throwing right uppercuts...? You'll remember that Booker did the same. Chase was also fond of these shots.

...interesting patterns...

 

He seems a very well-schooled body puncher in all the footage I've seen, and equally skilled with both hands. An incredibly varied stylist.

 

marshall looked so much more fluid than poor freddie.there was a huge gulf in class between mills and the top american light heavies.joe baxi perhaps gave mills the hiding of his life but was in turn battered by ezzard charles

 

Lloyd Marshall was a hard hitter. The first time he fought Ezzard Charles, he knocked him out.

 

I've never seen a fighter react the way Freddie did after that left hook in the first round. He showed some bottle there to go on as long as he did. Every shot Marshall through was a bomb, even the ones he missed The body shots were brutal. Just goes to show the depth of talent there was at the time.

 

beautiful, Marshall fights the way a stylish, classic boxer/boxfighter should, one of the greatest ever, he is in my top 3 favorite fighters with Charles and Jersey Joe!!!

 

There's quite a bit of footage on Bivin's if you include him as a member of 'The Row'.

Sadly, there does not appear to be much more than that. A right shame would be superb to see Holman Williams, Eddie Booker, Cocoa Kid or Jack Chase in motion.

IMO 'The Row' learnt a lot from each other. You notice they are all brilliant feinters, good bob and weavers and superb counter-punchers. They fought each other and learned IMO.

 

i like the way he was throwing lead right crosses, and they were landing.no wonder he ko'd ezzard charles.

 

I was gonna say the same thing. How bizarre. He seemed fully conscious and upright, yet completely unaware of exactly what was happening at that moment in his life: "Is this Costello Avenue?"

 

Yes, yes.

Moore himself, I am beginning to believe, became great because of those battles against the Row.

Anyone who fought the Row and had a few victories over them has to be formidable. The Murderers' Row was also the Threshing Row.
