They did all the fight scenes really well...it really helps to have people talking you throught that old footage. Stuff before I've seen about Johnson just replayed the rounds with bad commentary that was added like 50 years later. You couldn't tell what was going on cause the film was so jumpy.
Plus it was incredible the way the boosted the crowd noise. Hearing all that booing really made you realize how much white America wanted him to lose. The stuff about him making fun of Corbett was hilarious.Comment
