I love these old fights, no neutral corner, hitting from behind allowed, no limit on knock downs!
You never see the finesse we expect today, but man these guys are tough as nails.
Seeing Dempsey walking behind the referee so he can hit Willard from behind always makes laugh every time I see it.
Can you imagine any fighter being allowed to take that kind of punishment today?
