Anyone seen Wolgast-Rivers?

[jbills69]

There was a post here a few years back (by Battling Nelson, I believe) that appears to have included a link to video of the Ad Wolgast vs Joe Rivers double knockout bout. The page linked to is long gone. Did anyone save this video? Anyone have any idea where I might find it?

I believe this is the thread you're looking for.

Thanks. That is the thread, but it appears that all of the links are dead. Did anyone save the Wolgast-Rivers footage? I actually didn't believe there was film of this fight until I saw the post here. But if it was posted, it must exist, right? Anyone?

Can anyone even confirm that film of this fight exists?

To my knowledge there is a film around but I believe it is highlights. Not the entire bout.

Freakin phenomenal fight, even better than the reading. If people think these guys are less than the Lightweights of the last half-century,.... think again..... I can't believe the incredibly fast pace that Wolgast and Nelson are showing after 23 rounds. This is after the reports say that they had slowed down two levels by then. How damn fast were they going in the first 5 rounds ???........ To tell you the truth, from what I saw on this amazing film, I don't think Duran could reach that stage of a fight with either of them....... These guys are at a level unknown to us today. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is perhaps the greatest fight footage I've ever seen, the film lives up to everything the writers said about this all-time classic fight........ Wolgast and Nelson are simply F****ng brilliant. I've heard statements about Nelson being a crude fighter,..... they obviously haven't seen this....... Thank you for this my friend..... You have made my day.
