Thx for posting these great old fights.

Dempsey worked the body a lot in this fight. Great champion, the toast of the 20's

Thanks for the upload. Great fight.

Dempsey was a murderous body puncher, nobody goes to the body like that today. He also had incredibly fast hands, short compact shots you could barely see but that were devastating,

great clip thank you

where was the willard film crew for this fight???... its amazing how much sharper the film footage is for the willard fight then this. i thought edison's factories were in nj, you'd think they wouldve got better equipt., i mean this wasnt 1903. even jack johnson film is sharper then this.... carp had very good feet and defense but dempsey's power and own foot speed were at prime level here. too bad this dempsey couldnt have fought tunney. tunney was tougher then carp, but not by much. i think this dempsey dispatches prime tunney.

A remember that fight, i was there with my kids

Was this footage taken at 18fps? I'm glad it's not played fast, like old slapstick films

This Fight happened a year after the Spanish Flu Pandemic

5'11 172 heavyweight lol...how humans have grown!

Georges kept snapping Dempsey's jaw, especially in the first 2. He just kept clinching with a dude 2 inches taller and a stone heavier than him, he also had a much weaker chin than Dempsey and less stamina it seems

Many champions in those far distant days, especially Heavyweights did not defend their title very often. Gaps between defences could last a couple of years or more. Some of Jack Johnson's "defences" were actually more like exhibitions with the intention that his title would not be on the line (Every time a Heavyweight Champ fights his title is regarded as being at stake unless it's labelled an Exhibition). He wasn't alone in that practice. Jack Dempsey seems small by today's standards but then so was the average height of the population and weight, not forgetting that fighters, like the public, also aged much differently than today.

Small heavy weights....

"...if you prefer the French pronunciation..." The French pronunciation of Carpentier's name (car-pawn-tea-ay) is the correct pronunciation!

wait a min if georges started boxing in 1907 an he's 27 In this that means he mad his pro debut when he was like 13... that's fucking nuts lol

Loved the way Dempsey used to pick up the guys he K.O'd. Two of those you could not pick up, they were killed in the ring fighting Dempsey. The word KILLER INSTINCT was used in the game because of Jack. The way he fought he mauled guys ,and never let them breathe. The body work was a Dempsey specialty. Tyson always mentioned Dempsey because of his relentless fighting style. Before Dempsey many of the fighters used to throw a few punches in a round, probably because they were going 20,30,40,70 rounds +. Dempsey brought excitement to the game not to mention big paydays for fighters. One of the all time greats, he still has the most 1st round K.O's of any hwt champ to this day.

Looks like Carpentier took a dive

Does anybody know if Dempsey was the originator of "the Dempsey roll" aka "Philly Shell"? If my Eyes doesn't decieve me he uses it at 10.07 - a Beautiful example of that technique

Carpentier was a very good light heavyweight. I believe this fight was scheduled for 12 rounds, not 15. Not that it mattered, considering the outcome.

Dempsey kinda reminds me of George Benton if Benton was allowed to clinch more

dude was nailing Dempsey,,,he's just too small

Thelemic 93 "birthday" today. Middle of the calendar.

Carpentier looks more like a middleweight than a heavyweight. Yes, he hits Dempsey, but his punches have no effect on Dempsey.

They didn't know jab back then?.:)

LE GRAND CARPENTIER!!!!!!!!!! ,il pouvait ,à un moment ,METTRE DEMPSEY KO !!!

I have nothing against Dempsey, I just wonder why he is ranked so high among the all time greats when he had very few title defenses?

MY REGARDS
