Boardwalk empire brought me here

George landed several hard rights to Dempsey's jaw in those first two rounds. The Manassa Mauler had too much firepower for the lightheavyweight Frenchman. Dempsey kept coming forward slowly, but surely, beating down Carpentier's defense. George had flashes during the fight that made this fight very entertaining and exciting. I wish this 1921 Jack Dempsey would have met Gene Tunney instead of the 1926 Dempsey. Have no doubt, good as Gene was, that Jack would have won by a knockout late in a close fight.

Man its just crazy how carpetier fought flyweight and middleweight in europe. Came over to fight probably the best heavyweight of that time at heavyweight and actually was winning the fight until he got tired in the 4th from all those bodyshots. Just imagine that nowadays. Mighty mouse vs Jon jones or idk Garcia vs Tyson fury. Even surving one round would be a massive achievement for the smaller guys and this guy came there and won the first 3. Actuall madness these men back there were just something else. If they had todays food/training they would be absolute monsters destroying everybody we know. Also good work by jack he could take a punch thats for sure. Good infighter for that time too these bodyshots won him the fight. In the fourth u see carpentier was already tired and thus ez to finish especially considering jeck was a true heavyweight while carpentier was a middleweight who could also go down to flyweight. Nowadays being a champion in 2 divisions is special. Carpentier was bantamweight/middleweight/welterweight/light-heavyweight and heavyweight Champion... actuall madness

I seen Carpentier train and trust me, he's a false alarm. - Harry Greb, July 1921

Imagine what the top modern heavyweights and even cruiserweights would have done to heavyweights in Dempsey's era

film speed is a little fast and needs corrected.

Fixed

jack dempsey was very overrated
