British Pathe uploaded this a few hours ago on youtube. Good quality. Thought some people might be interested in seeing it.

I was happily surprised by the good quality here.

Funny reading on boxrec: Lynch forfeited the World Flyweight Title, overweight. Jurich's manager Jack Rogers claimed the title in defeat.

Winning the title on a KO loss would have been kind of awkward, so understandably, few or none paid attention to Mr. Rogers' claim.

Three months later, Jurich had his chance to win the vacated title in a proper way, but lost a decision to Peter Kane.

"ding-dong struggle"




Some lovely casual racism:

"[Lynch] one pound seven ounces over the stipulated eight stone six, had to forfeit one hundred pounds, though he is a Scot that doesn't make any difference"
