1934. French. Coverage of the funeral of Olympic fencer Lucien Gaudin. Included is 30+ seconds of footage from his bout with Aldo Nadi. In making this print they must have "flipped" the negative because Gaudin was well-known as a left-handed fencer.
So in this clip, Nadi is thus the "lefthanded" fencer in white pants and Gaudin the "righthanded" fencer in dark pants.
For some reason they added "crowd noise" to the 1922 (silent) fencing footage. My apologies for the watermark.
My thanks to RiposteHigh!

Who won in that bout?

Gaudin is actualy in the black pants. The footage must have been mirrored. If you look you can see the man in the white pants (Nadi) with a wrist strap on. Also if you look at pictures of the match in Nadi's book he is clearly identified with the white knickers.
