Tony Canzoneri vs. Barney Ross post the fight, whats odd about this match?

Not sure what you are getting at here?!

 

Me neither. The first fight is unknown to me, but there is a long version of the second on youtube.

 

New rule for the time,Ref states there is to be no holding

Going off the 33min youtube version which feels like the commentator is surrounded by Mossad Uzis it looks the "master boxer" Ross got clearly whipped by Bonnano family Capo regime Canzoneri.

One of the greatest displays of skill on celluloid film here by Tony.

 

Looked like Canzoneri was going for the KO from the 1st round,No diffrence in the final round.Ross looked slightly staggered off balance after a right hander.He outfought him on the inside and outside.Ross had some chin on him mind


Was this the last unofficial newspaper fight or something? Its clear he had to KO him to take the title

 

Cant see anything out of the ordinary goin on,Is it to do with the referee tapping Canzoneri on the shoulder?

Any clues?

 

I have just watched the 33 minutes version on Youtube, and I have no problem with Barney Ross getting the decision.

funny thing is that the commentary is done by Steve Holdsworth - he was not even born at the time of the fight.

 

Must be a different version! White hat Joe was the last one in the ring and didnt go near either fighter until it cuts to his raising Ross's arm

 

Ron, I see what you're saying, but there is broken continuity to this film. It may be only a few seconds on the film from when the bell rings ending the fight but in real time you can see that by the time Humphries gets to Ross, he is already robed up. The decision has clearly already been read by this point. I wish the film was in it's 15 round entirety. Would love to watch and score it.
