Gene Tunney Tribute
Loading...
Uploaded by boxingfan009 on Aug 9, 2009
This is a tribute to a forgotten boxer who actually invented the style many people thought was made by Muhammad Ali. Gene Tunney is an Irish New Yorker who went on to be one of only two undisputed boxers who retired with the heavyweight title. His style was to carry his hands low, study his opponent, dominate with the jab and use quick footwork to get out of the way. Tunney also use to talk to his opponent's in the ring.

The Fighting Marine Gene Tunney, the man who took the title from the Manassa Mauler, Jack Dempsey and retired without ever losing it. A true champ in every sense, thanks for posting.

@1899sharkey I have thought the same thing. Today we know more about nutrition, have better training facilities and boxers have had the opportunity to study the champs of the past, but still boxing today is nothing like it was in these old black and white clips form before any of us were born. Thank god for youtube

I now that there is a fast way to convert a book into a ebook, I just don't remember, I'm going to ask to a friend, I think is some parameter on a scanner software, I'm not sure. I'll try to find out. Anyway, you still can type on you keyboard, I have no problem with it, takes a wile, but works, PDF is the best way, I guess.

@boxingfan009 I take it!!! My name is Erminio Spalla, just like my grand father. I believe they had 2 confrontations, Spalla was the champion of Europe, and he was trying to be world champion. I have lots of stuffs about him, and always collecting things of fighters that had confronted him. I never found any video of the fight Tunney vs Spalla, I now that there's one somewhere. If you now about, please tell me. Thanks for be a boxer lover!!!

Check Wikipedia...Loughran beat him as an amateur in the army, Tunney admits this, And Tunney offered him a rematch as a pro! Tunney Won!! Then he offered Loughran a third match which Loughran declined! And by the way the great historian Bert Sugar has Tunney rated higher than Marciano in his top 10 heavies!! And also praised tunney on being one of the VERY FEW sportsmen of that time who was not a racist!
