    It looks to me like Gunboat Smith, [url]http://luirig.altervista.org/cpm/albums/bain-09/04147-Gunboat-Smith.jpg[/url]

    but that's going entirely on a few photos I've seen. Anyone know for sure?

    Be careful, some of that footage could be from the Burns fight. That's also not Johnson's voice.

    Kaufman is the guy Langford refused to fight.

    Some of the footage of course is from the Burns fight, but I get the strong impression from the overall context that the footage shown at the time stamp is from some kind of promotional exhibition leading up to the fight.
