    Actually it wasn't, according to the article:

    Might explain why it's so rare. Perhaps someone has it in their collection.

    Is that the one where he is smashing his face in up against the ropes? I might be wrong on memory there.

    Barney Ross habitually sneaks into my P4P top 10. He was a stand out in a deep era, trained by none other than Ray Arcel, never stopped. His execution was beautiful.

    Many don't know it, but Jimmy McLarnin was known as the "Hebrew Scourge" because he was cutting a swathe through serious Jewish boxers including Ruby Goldstein (KO 2), Ray Miller (UD), Joe Glick (KO 2, UD), Sid Terris (KO 3), Al Singer (KO 3), Louis Kaplan (KO 8) and Benny Leonard in 6.... then Barney put an end to his 'anti-semetic' habits.

    am i correct in thinking when Ross took the title from McLarnin the arena they fought in was nicknamed the 'Champions graveyard' as no champion had ever sucessfully defended his title there.

    Is this correct?

    What venue was it?

    Who wa sthe first to break this sequence?

    I've been around, mostly reading posts. Time constraints prevent my being able to be prolific out here.

    I didnt give you Ross McLarin III, because well it was 33 mins long, and was not on the list.

    Ross Petrolle and Canzi were 20 or 25 mins long.

    Think I thown in the first bout in highlight which runs ten mins of McLarin.
