    ESB posters,about 9 months ago I saw on youtube a fight between
    Tommy Gibbons vs Jack Bloomfield of Britain. I had seen Tommy Gibbons
    against Dempsey, Tunney,and was impressed by his boxing skills. In over
    100 bouts Gibbons was stopped only ONCE in his last bout against Gene Tunney.
    But seeing Gibbons flatten heavyweight Jack Bloomfield, with a great two
    handed attack, opened my eyes like never before. Whoever put this on youtube almost 1 year ago, if they see this request, please for ESB, show
    it once more.. Thanks...

    Bump. Here's a version someone uploaded in 2012. The quality isn't great, but you can see what's going on well enough.

    Nice to see him when he isn't totally up against it against Dempsey, or when he was pretty old against Tunney.

    he is terrific. In fact, he beat Harry Greb, who many on here call the greatest ever, twice. So it was certainly no fluke.

    Certainly but his only filmed bouts that I was aware of were vs Dempsey and Tunney. He looked like crap in both. Here we see his skills in action.
