Jack Sharkey -vs- Primo Carnera I 1931 (16mm Transfer, Speed Corrected)

- A recent article I wrote included newsreel footage of Jack Sharkey in Training for his first fight with Primo Carnera in 1931, including rare footage of Ernie Schaaf. As I described in the piece, Sharkey went on to win what was described as a close 15 round decision. The victory propelled Sharkey back into contention and to his rematch with Max Schmeling for the heavyweight championship 1932. Sharkey was given what many regard as a gift decision against Schmeling, and held the title for only one year. I was planning to move on from there, but by chance I recently found and acquired a rare 16mm print of that first Sharkey-Carnera fight. I've restored rounds 14-15.

It is great to watch this fight of almost 90 years ago !
Since the notorious rematch was fishy, it's great to see Sharkey doing his best. A very good move, weaving under Primo's pawing left, looks like Dempsey ducking the giant Jess Willard's left. As for Primo, he is awkward but not at all disgraceful. So much scorn is heaped upon him these days, but he looks competent and is trying his best as well.
If this were an actual 16mm print, or any film print for that matter, you would have been able to transfer it and/or project it at its correct FPS without having to digitally slow it down leaving the unappealing ghosting that you see from slowing a film that was transferred too fast.
Steve Compton Perhaps SIU had a digital flash scanner to transfer student films to video, but in the off campus world services like this cost a lot of money. My 16mm print would cost about $500 to get a frame to frame scan. If you'd like to invest, I take Paypal and I'll see that you get a copy.
FightFilmsGuy Thats b.s. First of all, I get films transferred all the time. It doesnt cost $500 to transfer a 7 minute film and when you do you can have it transferred at whatever speed you want it and in HD if you choose to pay extra (which still wouldnt cost $500). Secondly, even if you couldnt afford to have it professionally transferred, and simply transferred it the old fashioned way (by filming digital or analog video of the 16mm projection, you could still manipulate the speed so that it was transferred at the correct speed originally. The only excuse for the ghosting you see on your film here is that you never had a film at all but instead had an old video transfer that most everyone else has, transferred at the incorrect speed of 24fps (and then analog video added an extra 5 fps) and you slowed it down digitally to its correct speed. Slowing it down created the ghosting by showing the blended frames created when it was transferred originally. Why you make this stuff up is beyond me. Just like saying you did a "mutoscope film restoration" of Jeffries-Ruhlin. That was b.s. as well. That film wasnt salvaged from mutoscope and your copy wasnt from an original film but a poor quality vhs transfer. Or like when you said Dempsey-Tunney 1's theatrical version never exhibited rounds 7-8. More b.s. I have both of those rounds. The reason you dont have them because Tony Fosco (not Joe, as you call him) who found the complete film, cut those rounds out when he made copies for people like you, because they were badly water damaged. Or like your "restorations" of "films" with timecodes and watermarks that are clearly just sourced VHS, DVD, or online captures common on the traders network.
DEYA
