    Very cool.

    I'd like to see the losing effort against LaMotta.

    I'm a thread killer. As soon as I post on one it just dies.

    Sonny hung the gloves up about 6 months ago so you might not get a reply.

    I saw the name Eugene Criqui mentioned here.

    Here's his fight with Charles LeDoux for the French Featherweight Title, 1922.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrtnWjH2qTw

    The whole fight lasted just 83 seconds. But yes, there IS footage of Eugene Criqui.

    I have the great Jack McAuliffe in action.


    To bad, he is nearly 50 years of age, shot, wearing gloves, and sparing with Dempsey lol.

    I have close to 1 hour of Darcy footage on dvd.. recently transferred from VHS.. I have sent a copy to 'my2sense' and given copies to other people. The footage is extended fights against Dave Smith, Jimmy Clabby and George Chip. For anyone who would like a copy, its free... for RB.. I'll swap for the Curruthers vs Chonkritrat film. There is also footage of Darcy vs George KO Bromn, plus other film around the traps.
