    Dempsey was an animal vs Willard

    Just watched this vid for the first time:


    Willard was 6ft 6" and 240lbs but the way Dempsey laid into him is ****ing awesome - knocked him down 7 times in the first round (no standing eight count and no neutral corner at that time) and battered him in the next two, despite getting knocked outta the ring himself. You only have to see his face and you know you don't wanna mess with Dempsey - he looks like a serial killer!

    Willard had unbelievable guts though - he got murdered with vicious punches, ended up with broken ribs, fractured jaw and cheekbone and blood everywhere but still didn't give in.

    I think these old time boxers had far more courage than most guys nowdays.

    Thanks for that Dempsey book post - I never knew anything about the guy until I looked him up and now he's one of my favs.

    Dempsey is one of my all time favorite boxers, perhaps my absolute favorite. Just hearing the name Dempsey makes me want to throw down with someone. The guy was the personification of everything that interests me about boxing. Primal strength and instincts, individualism, and an incredibly strong will. Dempsey will always be at the top of the mountain to me.
