    are any of these fights rare for Film Footage?

    Tunney vs Carpentier

    Harry Wills vs Paulino Uzcudun

    Louis vs Braddock.

    No. Not really. Unless you don't have them, I guess. But they were being traded even on VHS tapes 30 years ago. Many versions of them are on YouTube, I believe. Or keep popping up there now and then.

    thanks, I had a Reel digitized without knowing what was on it, a Castle Film Reel,
    I checked YT after making the post and I see they are all on YT, the Reel I thought might be worth something, but according to AI, either side £30...

    btw it also included Dempsey vs Sharkey.

    I have given it to the British Film Archive Department in the Manchester Library.
