Multiverse they must exist still somewhere

Oldest people alive right now were born around 1906 so some very old people alive now were wondering about as kids when jack johnson fought Willard

Jack Johnson fighting 45 rounds if necessary. God damn blood sport back then. Cracked ribs, broken jaw, dozen teeth knocked out, smdh. That shytt was gruesome.

👴🏿🚬 WEAR KIRK DOUGLAS AT?💋

@@billybarty2948 He said circle, jerk!

It also does not even mention the trouble Johnson had to cross the color line. The whole thing glosses over the overt racism of the time.

MMA is nothing new at all. What do you Pankration was?!

MMA without the kicking.

👴🏿🚬👵🏿🚬 WEAR KIRK DOUGLAS AT? 👴🏿🚬👵🏿🚬

Kirk Douglas????

If you're referencing Spartacus that was Woody Strode

Jim Corbett's thong though.....

100% agreed, Matthew.

1138thz Your the fucking idiot, he was a champion plain and simple its not his fault there was nobody at his level at the time. For this era yeah he was the best I didn't say of all time stupid. Plus when he finally lost to Jess he was 37 years old scheduled to fight 45 rounds and went 26. Could you do that? Again for this ERA yeah he was the best. He was quick, strong, and had great defense. You'd have to be in idiot or racist to think he wasn't the best in that ERA.

wrong jackass Jack Dempsey owned all fighters

bulshit

Matthew Buffetkiller 'bulshit'? Did you mean bullshit? once again it is apparent that you need to get some treatment for your syphilis corroded brain.

Yes, but considerably short and sweet. What, 10 years?

Both Sullivan and Fitz would have rocked Johnson

No doubt

Tyson, I'd love to hear your opinion on Bob Fitzsimmons as a fighting man, boxing's first 3 weight world champion although he never weighed much above 12st 7lbs, he was also keen on Cornish wrestling although I'm not too sure how much of it he did, he also had a lion as a pet 100 years before anyone else thought of it, there are pictures of him walking it around on a leash, he must have been one hell of a man in his day, hard times make hard men and I've often wondered if he was the hardest of them all to hold the heavyweight championship and also now into the realms of fantasy - if a guy with that inbuilt hardiness of his times had today's training methods and techniques available to him what would be the end product ? Formidable for sure, even at 12st 7 lbs !, best regards to yourself and your dad , I still have the photo taken of us at your Bolton gym as my Facebook profile pic, loved that day, your dad and me were rabbiting away for a good 2 hours about boxing history !

Is this the real Tyson fury lol

A very informative and powerful documentary. For “ sho “

Wow to see the first fight ever filmed! To amazing 😲

Indeed I Saw unforgivable blackness, very VERY GOOD DOCUMENTARY.

Johnson chased them chappies all over the world. That's for sure. Knocking their arses out. That fight where he was blocking the sun out of his eyes that he decided to dive. Wasn't nothing to prove.

​@@aarondigby5054 There remains no evidence to support the dive accusation. His hands literally drop after three seconds when he passes out on the ground during the count. Have you not watched the fight?

i also have the vhs copy you would think that it could have been copied from the vhs copy because corbett- fitzimmons fight was even older

It's in another documentary mate

Dempsey was to great to be shared with other boxers to talk about him would be only about him

@@delanoarts3703 the first encyclopedias I read looking for information on fighters, Gene Tunney was mentioned along with Dempsey , it also mentioned John L Sullivan.

Fitz a beast But that beast got knocked out by Jeffries twice.

I think white fight fans liked Liston more than black fight fans. Black America viewed him as a thug and bad representation of the black community. Had one helluva tough sad life

He carried burns for ages prolonging his beating

And thus, ebonics was born. Where future intercity youths and suburban white kids that admire them would emulate his grammar with the precision of a surgeon. 🍷😏

@@tobysharpe1041 Nope, he didn't have what it took to take him out earlier.

@Rafe Pressler 👴🏿🚬 U STUPID 4 SAYIN DAT B💋

Was gonna say

@@Danmasonnnn fights were gruesome, 45 rounds if necessary, no standing eight count, just beat the crap out of a sob, smdh.

That's more or less what Willard said to Johnson later on.

👴🏿🚬 SO

Hugged each other and threw 5 punches a round

You said it. Johnson fought middleweights, journeymen and the elderly, and when he went against a somewhat formidable though generally unskilled Willard, he lost.... Langford fought everyone he could,

Johnson ducked Langford, among other fighters like McVea, even Gunboat Smith after being brutalized in sparring. Johnson had skill, but he was not willing to go against opponents who were of similar skill and size. Langford would have beaten Johnson, and likely beaten Willard too, if Gunboat didn't beat him sometime late in Langfords reign when he was starting to age, he holds the title until the great Jack Dempsey comes around. Make no mistake, Langford was the true champ for Johnsons reign, and is perhaps the greatest HW to never get a title shot.

Would love to see footage of Langford fights. The true champ.

@@rebelliousredneckvlogs Dempsey wouldn't fight Langford either though 😂

Wrong,Johnson had already beat and brutalized Langford in there one fight ,newspaper reports are available smh

He was Irish , but did his best to all but hide that fact for the rest of his life . First to go was his Irish accent . He was very much the " English " gentleman in all but place of birth .

@DOE John I heard he was a pansy. Should call him your great great aunt.

"What you got, Jackie", said Jess.

There is a GREAT documentary on him.

There's a whole documentary on Johnson and yes burns was a pussy and ran for years. He was a racist piece of human garbage.

@Washington Is Next! I don't even know what the fuck Tumblr is lol. Yes it does take away from their greatness because they didn't fight the blacks. Sorry but you're the butthurt one.

@@stpbasss3773 You sound mighty anti-white, and if you're white, you sound like you'd rather be something else.

@@stpbasss3773 BS !

@@stpbasss3773 Johnson didn't fight any black challangers after winning the title, he outright drew the color line. If Burns is so bad for making Johnson wait, what would that make Johnson?

Some over 45-70

He was fearless and a bit foolish .

Andrew Gardener foolish, are you serious? Just because he was on the wrong side of the racist Mann Act and that too on trumped up charges. Can you imagine the courage it took to get in the ring when majority want to see you lose or worse. He was a champion in every sense of the word!

Ling Bon Where does the section on Bob Fitzsimmons start? I can't find it.

George Havenhand near the beginning. Right after the section about jls

+Ling Bon did you like the shorts of Corbett?

tonir

+balkoth03 jim corbett was the first boxer skill who invented foot work and the left jab.

Ive heard this before, not sure if its verified... Do you have any idea?

@@rebelliousredneckvlogs about the teeth?..No, I've just heard it mentioned on many documentaries about this fight.

It's Johnson who went off script first, knocking down Ketchel in the second round and then a second time before finally Stanley floored Jack Johnson.

Mike Tysons favorite.

Agreed. He was the beginning of the next generation of boxing.

I would agree, his rapid footwork, defensive head body movements, and knowing the physics behind weight transfer in his punches mark him as the beginning of a new era in the boxing world. Check out his boxing book!

Yeah jack dempsey can fight in any era of boxing. Legendary boxer. U can see the difference between his style of boxing compare to the others in this video

An interview with Jeff Willard in, I think 1967 Sports Illustrated, had Willard claim Dempsy had plaster in his gloves. Willard reported that to that day 50 years after the fight that he still had small bone fragments floating above his right temple. I tend to believe Willard...broken jaw, ribs etc., and he still came out for 3 rounds.

Willard was lying- Dempsey was called as an extremely hard puncher by everyone! Look what Mike tyson accomplished by basically stealing/using Dempsey's whole fighting style- he used real physics and science to be able to punch ridiculously hard by getting every pound into every punch, via gravity and leverage and stuff. Check out his book on boxing, "championship fighting" is what it's called I believe.

@@aggremo I think that you have slipped into error. There was no advantage for Willard to lie 40 years after the fact. Willard grew up in a period of time when manhood had implicit trappings. Lying was the domain of women and swine.

@@thomasrhodes5013 There's no evidence for that claim..... Not only that, but the footage of the fight shows Dempsey's hands being wrapped and gloved in the ring, in full view of Willard and his team. Even the same Boxing Illustrated did a test in 1967 to see if it would even work, and as it turned out, using such a technique would make the user cut and break fingers and possibly his hand after only a few punches. Willard also never had broken ribs or teeth etc. Interviews of Willard after the fight only mention brusing and cuts, and interviews a week afterward mention those injuries had mostly healed. The whole broken ribs, half dozen teeth knocked out etc legend was brought on my newspapers to create hype. In summary, the plaster myth has been disproven for many years,

@@cflo1386 Why?

👴🏿🚬 HOUND DOG 💋

Got laid out quick by Dempsey a couple years later though. Jeffries was a shell when he fought Johnson, had to lose over 100 pounds before the match. Prime Jonson vs Jeffries would be interesting, though i still think Johnson had the edge due to his defense

Too much bacon and egg. Over the years it piles up in your arteries.

Why? Because other people say that?

@@HumphreyPennyworth Whats your problem?Every mention of Johnson and you show your ignorance

Under his ruleset perhaps, but if he fought against modern fighters, with modern rules he would be obliterated. This is due to his style, which chiefly focused on three areas, clinching, catching, and patience. Under modern rules clinching is basically prohibited past a second or two, so Johnson wouldn't be able to wear down his opponents in his favorite way. His style of catching his opponents punches with his glove and countering while effective in his time where punches were seldom thrown more than two at a time, would also do poorly in the modern era, where quick combinations exceeding 7 or more blows are commonplace, and are often much less telegraphed than in Johnsons day. Johnson was of course known for his stamina and patience, where he could sometimes wait a large number of rounds, for his opponent to wear down, the perfect moment to land the final knockout punch. The workrate of boxers has gone up significantly since the days of 35-70 rounds, and in a standard 12 round fight Johnson would be overwhelmed, boxing was more often fought like a game of chess in Johnsons era.

wish there was lol.

this documentary was written & directed by a very young Harry Chapin.

If Dundee hadn't cheated, he'd have kayoed Clay in their first fight.

@@freezinboxing Clay was knocked on his arse by a Sir 'enry left hook with two seconds left, the bell rung and Ali got up and walked to his corner, it was obvious Clay was still dazed he attempted to get up off his stool and that's when Dundee knew Clay was in lala land Dundee and his cornermen used some smelling sauce to revive Clay, Dundee and the cornermen squeezed themselves close together so the cameramen couldn't see what they were doing as smelling sauce was banned in Britian and Dundee ripped a small tare in Clay's glove to buy a few more seconds before the bell rung to start the next round in which Clay fully recuperated ended the fight the next round by hitting Cooper with stinging ripping punches that severely cut Cooper's eye ending the fight, Cooper's eye was cut really bad, the announcer said it was the worst cut eye he'd seen. After Clay went on to beat Liston for the title Cooper gained a rematch with the Champion Clay/Ali and suffered the same fate, a severely bad cut to the eye. Google up Clay v Cooper, good fight early in Clay's career.
