  • Some boxing historians have maintained that Fitz decked Corbett with a punch to the solar plexus. In the film, however, it looks like Bob hit Jim in the liver. Either target would have been incapacitating --

  • Fitzsimmons said it was just "a bloody good punch to the body".

  • I was there........ what a fight !

    :)

  • @TheG55coffia yeah i think there is corbet jeferies and maybe another corbet im not to sure tbh. 

  • Are there any films of Corbett besides this?

  • Fitzimmons was a dirty fighter that was a dirtbucket

  • @BOXINGFANFAN where do i say the fight was fixed?

  • WOW...There has been more of this fight restored. I have watched it from time to time and it was never this long. Thank you so much for posting. When ever I hear the name Corbett ....Errol Flynn comes to my mind.

  • @dretety it was 11...and corbett was sitting on him for 2 seconds of that....and it also depends when the ref started counting...oh thats right this match was fixed...this is the only place i have ever heard this mentioned...it is not mentioned in any of books i have.

  • Amazing footage, quite a privilege to watch. Thank you.

  • It's amazing, this video is almost 114 years old. Boxing really hasn't changed all that much.
