    Just finished watching these highlights of this fight and from what I seen what a great fight. Does anyone know if the full fight exists ?

    I've only ever seen the highlights, I think there's a high chance that the full fight could be out there somewhere.

    It's a shame it was at the end of Jimmy's career, coming of a longish lay-off. It would have been a even better fight had he been in his prime.

    All credit to Villa though, I'm sure he could have gone on to achieve much better things had he not passed away.

    Same here, i've only ever known of the highlights. It must exist though mustn't it? Or did they just film parts of fights sometimes back then?

    It looks like a great fight I'd love to see the whole thing.

    Wilde looks pretty bad to me in this.

    Also, I don't understand why Pancho is swallowing those jabs.

    Its certainly not a display of textbook boxing but looks pretty exciting hence my interest.

    I've always thought this fight must be great in full length. Villa takes it to another gear.
