FightFilmsGuy's video: Jack Dempsey Gene Tunney 1927 Rare Newsreel and Weigh-In Footage

A few years ago I had a Youtube Channel of over 200 boxing films posted of fight from the turn of the century to the 2000s. I went under the name Rotoscope. There were nearly 600 followers. Then one morning in 2008 I tried to log in and all the videos had been taken down, and the account blocked permanently. There weren't nearly as many boxing videos on Youtube then as there are now, so my channel unfortunately got the wrong kind of attention. This channel is mostly about vintage boxing, and my personal collection of 16mm films. I've gone back to my archives from the Rotoscope channel and will be reposting some of the best footage, beginning with this episode of Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney, taken within hours of their rematch in Chicago 1927. The shots of Dempsey posing for the press are clear and detailed. In the shot of Dempsey wearing a hat, he looks younger, so it's likely to be from an earlier visit. The weigh-in footage of Tunney is a stark contrast to today's high tech events. More from The Fight Film Collector: http://fightfilmcollector.blogspot.com/
