    Anyone got the full fight of Robinson vs Armstrong?

    I saw it on a DVD I got I believe about a year back but haven't seen it since, don't really want to go through my DVD collection to find it again.

    Arguably the two best fighters of all time right there.

      Don't think the footage even exists, I've never heard of it being recorded before.
      Only 4 or so fights exist of Robinson at Welter and Armstrong wasn't one of them and even then only 8 (not exactly sure) or so of Armstrongs fights exist.

      You must of had him confused with someone else.

      Might be out there but it's very doubtful, if you lost the DVD that you supposedly had it on you're a very silly man, would of sold for a ****ing bomb.

          I doubt the fight exists on film, but on another forum there's a person who happened to see it live. Apparently Robinson dominated Armstrong with the jab, without allowing Armstrong to close the distance, and refrained from opening up and attempting to possibly put Armstrong away because of the respect he had for Armstrong. In fact a young Robinson vowed to avenge Armstrong's loss to Fritzie Zivic, which he did just a year into his pro career.

            I'm sure I saw some of it, not all of the fight but definitely more than 3-5 minutes of footage on a DVD.

            I'll go check right now.

              Nah, I think I must be wrong.

              Just checked 1 DVD I thought it was from but it wasn't on it.
