    The two rivals training for their 1935 rematch:

    This is the only film I've seen of Pete Sanstol, the great Norwegian boxer who was compared to Battling Nelson in his heyday. You can see his aggressive bobbing & weaving style, which greatly troubled Panama Al Brown.

    Both were over 30 years old with one foot in retirement by then.

    i have not really come across sanstol but he looks to as you say a bobbing and weaving style with his hands down low as well as getting inside to land he appears to possibly have been quite a hard target to hit himself
