    So this was requested as an example of a high level technical 70s fight.

    Great work again.
    The frame skipping while Holmes is jabbing is a bit overdone.
    The ending definitely looks like the kind of brawling that would be appreciated by some, and be heavily scrutinized by others.

    Notice how no matter what, you can still see their muscle definition and the light reflections. 30's footage on the other hand makes everything look blobby.

    Perhaps, but those cameras had a hard time picking up horizontal movement like that. I was thinking of insane frame skips in the Dempsey and Langford footage when they moved.

    Yeah, you would have to go completely digital to simulate the lighting of the 20s and 30s arenas. Maybe someone with more time can do that lol

    Yeah that's true.
    And those cameras had more depth issues.

    That's an interesting point to consider when people criticize the bodies of the classic guys.

    "fat" Archie Moore
