Smooth legends on youtube at it again HD upscaled footage of dempsey

Kidney belts were illegal until 1931. They are not wearing belts. They changed the low blow rules the same year to adjust to the new use of belts.

The Schmeling-Sharkey fight and then contender Carnera being DQed just two weeks later prompted the change.

So what dempsey is doing is not considered low?

It looks to me like hes getting nailed in the bladder. Nobody is complaining though, as noted

One thing for me I notice now is Tunney is a lighter framed fighter than Dempsey, who seems very heavy handed in his punches judging by his followthrough. Like a shavers or Rocky. Previously these 2 look similar in poor quality, and much sloppier. Once it got cleaned up you can see a whole lot of skills and savvy.

I always envisioned Dempsey as puncher who hit hard because of his speed, but he actually looks like a natural heavy puncher. One of those hooks could decapitate the right oponent.

yeah the skills on display are outstanding. Compared to a so called "skilled" heavyweight today there is just no comparison.

- - Heh, heh, and while Foreman was uncomplaining and physically cogent, Ali was busy collapsing in the ring and had to be carried to his stool.

Hence Ferdie and Herbert forbade Ali to ever rematch Foreman for all the tea in China. Wepner showed just how far Ali had fallen.

Here is the ko rd 8 as is clearly shown after koing George Ali raises his arms and strides to his corner.No collapse,no carrying to his stool.

You got confused with the Manila fight didn't you?And by the way. Ali was not carried to his stool in that fight either .As to the rest,you just made that up.Neither Dundee or Pacheco had a say in who Ali fought once he first won the title in 64.
Are you on medication?
If not,you should be!

Must be time for a white stick for you...

must have been after his tirade to the press on live TV when he finishes the convo by getting up and dropping his drawers forcing them to cut it off lol


wrong fight ivich beat me too it

- - I'll add in that in spite of the computer enhancements of the footage, his Tunney fights are not flattering to either Tunney or Dempsey.

Dempsey was rusty, had serious intestinal disturbances alloyed with some personal setbacks in both fights, and simply didn't look the same ferocious Dempsey that stormed the Heavyweight Pantheon in his youth.

This may be the only footage of Tunney I've ever seen. Anyone heard of additional obscure footage I may have missed?

Queensbury Fool is incapable of admitting he is wrong,which ,considering he usually is, is strange.
When caught out he makes up a couple of more lies. and presents them as inside truths but they are always just his BS.

More lying BS.

Footage improves in quality half way through

Dempsey w the baiting headmovement making Tunney miss, tunney countering this by doing an inordinate amount of feinting

Tunney with that inside straight right hand, I've seen Archie Moore do this as well. Very surprising how crafty Tunney is, some of those crosses and jabs are like lazers and he's constantly changing his timing.

Also note how dirty Dempsey is. Constantly low blowing, seems very heavy handed, some of the misses look brutal if they connected.

You can see how much worse they look if the footage was garbage like we are used to

Nice video.

Can't get over how slick Tunney is. First time I've seen Tunney in this quality.
