    Thanks Mac, great footage.

    I know Zale was faded but Cerdan looked really good here. His mixture of body and head attack was great and he couldn't miss with that looping but fast and hard right hand.

    Zale was still tough and stubborn, a great foil for Cerdan in this bout.

    Cerdan looked good. He was sharp and he was certainly quick of hand and foot. Tony Zale couldn't get off.
    Cerdan was cagey using angles to set up that sneaky right which was $ time and again. His lefthook to the body and heady was smooth.
    This was Marcel Cerdan's time. He had more energy than Tony Zale. It would have been interesting to see how he would have done with a younger Zale.
