Floyd Patterson vs. Gene Tunney

[Dempsey1238]

I have the theater version of the fight.

And the 4 rounds of that fight is 7 each or so mins long lol.


First they show the round from the over head veiw(Full round, with out bell ring)

Than they show the close up of the round(Yeah pretty fast, but they have the bell ring round end.)

So both views were done by differnt cameral men.

It was nice to see the fight from diffent points of view.

All 4 rounds are view this way.

All I have is the ESPN version of the fight, which I believe has the first two rounds backwards, if I'm not mistaken (I "think" I've heard/read that before somewhere).

The footage starts out with the camera view from the audience, before switching to the tower view for most of the rest of the fight (with both close-ups and further away shots). It does switch to a different view from the audience before the end of the fight for a couple of minutes, although it's not the same one used in the opening moments, before going back to the tower/close-up view for the finish of it.

And here's my proof:

that doesn't mean i said they speed-up the films. i meant that high-def today just make fighters look better, cause you can see every little detail than if you watch fights in the 1960s.

What Espn did was cut parts of both views and kinda of mix them as one. like I said, first they show the round from over view and than they show the close up view of the round. 3 of the 4 rounds as these type of thing expect rounf 4, which they just jump to close up view, and ended with the knock, and the crowd was cheering Dempsey when he wave to them lol.

Yeah Round 2 is round 1 on Espn, OTHHER mistake.

Carp landed a punch that stagger Dempsey in round 2, on ESPN, you can see him land that punch in there "First" round.

Than they have round 1 as there round 2.

Than they cut some of round 3 and 4 and mix and match here and there, and boom you have round 3.

Than the left overs of round 3 and 4 are round 4, plus knockout blow.

Both good fighters. Floyd Patterson was faster, but Gene Tunney was the better boxer, he could hit harder and his chin was better.

I see Patterson giving Tunney some difficulties because of his speed, but Tunney would come out on top I believe.

Gene Tunney by UD.

I agree. This would be a very technical match-up, I also see Tunney winning this one.
