Historic film. I'd have hated to be there when the referee presented that shirt to his wife for washing. Two brave tough brawlers. No fancy Dan stuff. Footwork? Movement? Jab?
For all their legendary prowess, all they seemed to do was hug each other. Billy is a real style setter. The first introduction of the thong. If he is so manly, what is he doing wearing women's underwear.
Incredible quality for such old film
thanks for this film and the work you have done!
Glad you enjoyed it!

That's a jock strap - but agree that he should have had trunks on. I guess he wanted to be tanned all over.
Not uncommon back then; Gentleman Jim Corbett favored a similar outfit, in extant film and still photos.
Since when was thong women's underwear you troll 👹
KETCHEL had an injured right hand or arm in this fight, that's why it's such a clinchfest instead of a typical high action Ketchel fight
