Years ago I bought a copy of that fight from a guy selling tapes in the back of Boxing Illustrated. That was, I think, 23 minutes long and it was something to watch Tunney break that guy down.

More of it was on YouTube a few years ago, but it got removed I guess.
1928, Tunney was boxing very well there.

I think every Dempsey fan winds up learning quite a bit about Tunney.

I just read Live Fast Die Young; The Life and Times of Harry Greb. He had a tremendous amount of respect for Tunney because of how much he improved over the course of their fights. Greb thought that Tunney was much better than Dempsey and that he would beat him easily.

Tunney looked like a supreme boxer from round one to the end he remains the same. The loss to Grebb ruined his perfect record.

Tunney was way before his time when it came to boxing but a lot people did not like him because he was educated and said he liked to read on his down time. I think Tunney would of beaten Louis to be honest with Conn almost did it and i fell Tunney was a hell of a lot better as a fighter.
