Rare footage of Ray Robinson, Archie Moore, Midget Wolgast, Joe Brown

I will look at these in more depth later,got to get the dogs out.
People like Manassa[good posters ]tend to disparage Brown and laud Carter,for my money Brown was a fine champ.

 

I checked the 1st fight (Robinson-Angott), decent footage, I bet there is more of his younger fights SOMEWHERE on this planet hidden away, must be.

Ps. Sammy was catching a lot of clean punches (mainly jabs) a fair bit while being pressed, shows Ray is a fine & effective pressure fighter as well.

 

ill check this out

 

Thanks for posting

 

A , great stuff and thank you !

 

Great find.

 

There is. There's actually a decent bit of him at WW, it's just exceedingly rare. I've seen the Angott footage and some highlights of a few other WW fights of his before.

 

As prominent as he was at the time, I'd imagine there's a great deal more than mere snippets. (How is it possible that two hugely popular and exciting stars like Gavilan and Robby were not filmed together with the same quality of footage SRR/Fusari was recorded with?)

I get the impression from the Angott and Fusari clips that he was much more of an aggressive stalker while boxing within the welterweight ranks than he was when stepping up against bigger opposition. John Garfield might be able to shed some additional light on this, but what scarce early film there is of Ray suggests an intriguing and revealing difference in his style within his peak weight.
