I like your video clip and have rated it as awesome. Please view my clip of some 1930's boxing tobacco cards. They include Tommy Farr, Jack Dempsey , Joe Louis, Jack Johnson and many more.

This has to be the best quality footage I've seen of a pre-war fight ever! If only we had more of these. In this bout we can see how good an all around fighter Tommy Farr was. He only lacked a KO punch. We can also see how Braddock, a fighter with limited physical skills was able to go so far using guts and savvy. I saw more footage of this fight recently on TV and Braddock ended up right in his own corner at the end of each round, making Farr take the long walk back to his own corner.

Thanks mate, appreciate that, after I made the comment I realised by Braddocks style which one he was.

Cheers

I don't know if you can see, but Farr is the guy with the lighter colour hair...He's the guy dancing around the ring...And his corner is the one closest to your computer screen...Hope that helps

Tommy lacked a big punch, but had almost everything else, great ring craft, a solid chin and courage. He took a prime Joe Louis 15 tough rounds so I wonder what he would do to todays bunch of heavyweights!

Tommy Farr was once described as a gallant welshman with an appetite for fighting, but your right he lacked the big punch. He was an arm puncher. But he went up against the best and always finished on his feet God bless him

Tommy Farr was Welsh and from Tonypandy, Wales.

Every time I see his fights on YouTube I see a very clever, skilled boxer. Your'e probably right in that he got the wrong side of some close decisions. Good head movement, good jab, threw a decent over hand right.
