    Really like the old Dempsey training clips. He looked great in his prime and I consider him a great fighter.

    Wills has a very peculiar style, good reflexes. Good at timing, his constantly active arms to defend and control is similar to Johnson and many other old timers.

    Best footage I've seen of Wills. He looks sharp. Hands down to draw leads, but apparently quick. Knows how to feint and use distance, almost St. Paul style. Best speed to watch it at is .75.
