Awesome footage of Robinson at his best. I believe the two fights on display are Ray Robinson vs Tony Riccio from 1946 and Robinson vs Freddie Flores from 1949.

The Riccio fight, which starts at around 40 seconds, may very well be the best footage we have of welterweight Robinson.

Here's Robinson vs Sammy Angott III, Cliff Beckett and the beginning part of the Freddie Flores fight:

EDIT: Excuse me I got the fights mixed up. The beginning part is his fight against Tony Riccio and the second fight is against Freddie Flores.
