Georges Carpentier "The Orchid Man"

- Опубликовано: 31 май 2017
- Georges Carpentier was a boxing champion from France. He fought many great fighters in his era, across many different weight classes. He was known for his speed, grace, unorthodox style, boxing skills, footwork, and a really sharp right hand punch.
There were no highlight videos of Carpentier, so I decided to make one!

you are an artist, Rezz.
Thank you for not just sticking to the mainstream boxers and showcasing old time greats as well
Real talk, luv watching the old school fighters.
I am crying right now to see my great Uncle, flesh and blood, in action and not just in photographs. I saved (all) the family photos, and I was told he was a brilliant boxer now I can see he was amazing and I am so proud! He fought Jack Dempsey and went down for the count, but for years I was told he broke his finger in the third round and was disqualified so now I know the truth. Jack Dempsey fought fair and square and won the fight in July 2, 1921.
God Bless You and Your Family , Ma'am
@@merde6526 ..Proud of my French heritage. God Bless you and your family as well.
Gloria, this is going to sound very odd but are you aware there’s a bloodline of George Carpentier here in England? It’s a well known story in my family. I’m sat with my dad right now discussing it again and I mentioned I’d seen you comment on this. I don’t think anyone in France is aware of us. Where are you based?
That's is really cool
Bonjour Madame,Tu es française ou Americaine ? @@gloriahanes5338
Beautiful I love it!
First time learning about this boxer. Very impressive. I love his boxing style. Very smooth, quick, and fluent. Glad i came across this vid.
His last name was pronounced "Car-Pont-e-a".
Boxing channels like this on youtube are a breathe of fresh air for us purists and enough to make others fall in love with the art and science. Thank you Rez.
The sweet science

GEORGES CARPENTIER 👊👊👊 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
With the tiniest bit of footage and a language your subscribers don't even speak you've created something very memorable here.
Merci beaucoup quel champion ! Le meilleur champion français !
Excellent work. Nothing like seeing an old time great get some appreciation. If you haven't you should check out his book "Boxing as fine art".
Carpentier was a boxing prodigy- turning pro at the age of 14. He fought from welter to heavyweight. What I like about him is- that in almost all of his photos, he is smiling. He lived a long life and looked as though he enjoyed every minute of it. A true bon vivant! Nice video- and very much deserved.
Stuart Perry he actually started out as a flyweight wich is quite crazy
You're right. I meant to say he won his first European title at welter. Thanks!
You did a really good job with old material. Your video outlines what made Carpentier famous, his speed, precision, elegance and incredible punch. Most of his career, which started with Boxe Française at the age of eleven, he fought adversaries well above his weight. He was the first French champion of the world as middle heavyweight, and did a good job against Dempsey fighting for the all categories title, in front of 120000 spectators in a purpose built stadium, until he broke his right hand.
What he was most proud of was his 14-18 war as a “reconnaissance” pilot, taking pictures of battle fields, in particular at Verdun. Thank you for bringing my grand father back to younger generations memory. Philippe Sudreau, grand son of GC.
Each time I read these comments I find more and more about my great Uncle. Few knew he also was descended from Marc Antoine Charpentier (famous French composer) as well as Jean Baptiste Charpentier (famous artist). In France his name is pronounced Charpentier and this also is the French spelling. He is descended from French nobility and ancient Kings of France who lived in Normandy, France and settled in 1066. Philippe Sudreau we are related on my grandmother's side of the family Zoe Marie Carpentier. Tell me more about his broken right hand I was told he broke his finger fighting Jack Dempsey.
I did not know my great Uncle, George Carpentier, was a pilot in WWI, and my grandfather who married Zoe Carpentier (George Carpentier's cousin) fought in WWI as he was French on both his mother and father's side of the family. He felt it was his duty and he wanted to impress my grandmother, Zoe.
Now, I know why I became a pilot as I have a great love for aviation. When I started flying few woman even considered to take it seriously as a career. My great Uncle George Carpentier, a reconnaissance pilot, my father's cousin, my Great Uncle also a pilot, who died in WWII when he was shot down over Japan.
Congrats for your grandpa, Philippe!!!
the Picasso of RUclips
eduardo guzman Is that supposed to be a compliment or an insult? Picasso was crap.
unlockthepower Please shut the fuck up... You wont be remembered by anyone in 100 hundred years, specially for not being a great artist so try to do something more productive than saying stupidities
@@folksurvival ...A compliment Picasso is a genius!
@@wessex8031 ....Thank you for sticking up for my great Uncle.
@@wessex8031 I might, I might not, either way it doesn't change the validity of my statement. Also I do many productive things and I didn't say any "stupidities" here.
Love your videos! Thank you for taking your time to entertain us, much appreciated!
Superb. Very jealous of the quality in your library of the old timers. Keep up the good work.
first in line for the show. never a disappointment.
Another great upload of an often forgotten fabulous fighter Georges Carpentier a WWI war hero as well, I grew up with my father telling me about the old fighters many that he seen in the ring.
he had style
your videos are proof that boxing is more than a sport but an art in its own right. Thanks for all your hard work. Long live France :)
Awesome video, content, editing, music, etc. Always look forward to your stuff, and glad to see others appreciate it equally.
These videos are so well done and I can't tell you how much I love them. Excellent job.
Thank you Reznick! It's beautifull!
Que história linda, D. Glória Hanes!! Que orgulho deve ser pra Sra ter tido um tio que fez parte da história desse esporte!! God bless you!!
tnx to this chanel I not only discovered some great old school boxers but also a lot of great music
Amazing as always!Big thanks!Unique way of making movies among mainstream movies
Deserve alot of credit for these videos you do thankyou and I'm sure the warriors will be grateful too never forgotten.
Incredible highlight. Amazing job Reznick
I love the work you do, rez. This was another great tribute.
Sir, through your films and combined with this sound.. You keep us on the Trax keep us motivated and learn us to appreciate this wonderful great boxers real warriors.. Thank you very much
Incredible good conditioning in a era where PEDs and Steroids didn't exist. Look at those back muscles and popeye arms
@Phillip1310 Phillip, the fact that you are insulting a man for paying respect to an old-timer is as pathetic and low as can be. Tell me, were you the same pathetic coward who sucker punched Rick Moranis? Oh, and by the way, all the top athletes today are using PEDs, you dumb cow. ALL OF THEM. What a joker.
@Lapaza They had none of the PEDs that we have today. Nothing worth mentioning.
@Lapaza steroids weren't synthesised until the end of the 2nd world war. Became commonplace from the late 60s and 70s.
@Lapaza atleast link an article or drop the name of the said drugs/substances my guy.
@@cheetoyeeto1232 it was common in ww2 to have performance enhancing drugs. The nazis used them
I am a huge fan of your vids....thanks for sharing your passion for boxing via them.....
Absolutely Awesome !
Thanks for Posting this Old School Great...
I truly Enjoyed Your Video!
Paul D' The Punch Professor
Brilliant work Reznick...classy
I've been following you since you first made your main RUclips account... I still stick around to see the art you create. Thanks for everything, Rez!
Great work reznik much appreciated
Always keep the videos in with the times maximising the full potential of the gold being shared amongst us all. Your a true creative.
Another awesome video. Keep em comin' my man.
That was DOPE!!! Thanks for sharing
Bloody brilliant
Keeping me going these videos during lockdown keeping fit waiting to get back to amateur boxing take some heads off 👊
seems like he always fought bigger guys, amazing. had his unique style, not a brawler neither a runner
Superbe, merci à toi pour cet hommage.
Rez...Keep up the great work....
Rezz this is art
One of the Greats! Rest in Heaven my friend!!
Gorgeous draw on to that right hand. Beautiful thing
Vraie légende 💪🏻🇨🇵
This man was a true Boxing genius, he beat so many men supposed tougher, and much bigger than himself. He had a very personalised training regime, and could fire that jab out like a piston, setting up his seriously hard right for the finish. But, not only that, he studied the psychology of the fighting man, and the men who he met in the ring, truly showing that physicality was but one part of the true fighting man, and he exalted in the thought process behind the fight. A true hero ( just look up his war record) a great advocate of the sport, a true gent, and a man who put a lot of stock in his trainer Francois Descamps who he remained faithful to from a very young age. His book 'My fighting life' is a must read for any Fan of the noble art, and as such is a Scholar Select work, selected by Scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilisation as we know it.
beautiful. amazing.
Awesome! 👏
Wonderful stuff
Thank goodness for this. I have always told people that their was once a man who fought from flyweight to heavyweight successfully but none seemed to know of him but me. These tribute to boxers pre joe louis (Who arent jack dempsey and jack johnson) never do that great on views (James C is 10 times more well known than george and your vid of him barley hit 12k views) but I want you to know that doesnt mean they are unapriciated. Thank you for this little birthday present and I must ask are you still doing a Bob Fitzimmons tribute?
He began his career at 147 , not fly weight.
Awesome.
Magnifique !!!
Another home run brother!
Un texte profond, une musique magistrale, un homme exceptionnel, un chef-d'oeuvre ! Bravo !
J'attends avec impatience un hommage à Marcel Cerdan !
Yeah man he was great. Great footwork, body movement and some nice combinations
awesome
great music
Visual magic and dream sound
He was also a ww1 hero and was well respected outside of the ring as well
Never heard of this guy. He can fight.
The more black n white footage I see of old boxers, the more I feel confident that today's boxers would kill the old time greats. Perhaps it becomes more equal around the 1950s...
Carpentier was unlucky that when fighting for the heavyweight title he had to take on one of the very best, Dempsey. Against a lesser fighter he may very well have become world champion.
Not even skill, size also matters.
Even though George Carpentier is my great Uncle I do confess Jack Dempsey to be a great fighter who could last in the ring as he had greater stamina. Remember my great grandfather started fighting in France in 1907 and by 1921 he met his match in Jack Dempsey.
@@gloriahanes5338 so is he he grandfather or uncle 😂😂😂
+ He had to stop boxing for 5 years because of the ww1 (Dempsey vs Carpentier was in 1921) he became a boxing legend and a war hero, what a life
@@antoinem4401 ...And, to think I have his blood racing through my veins.
brillant
Beautiful video as usual reznick. Which video software do you use?
French fighter ace. Matinee idol. Author. Restraunteur. Light Heavy champ and European Heavy. The Orchid Man lived a fuller life than 99.999% of all men and for that reason and his speedy audacious fighting and charisma.
Will always be one of my favorite fighters
wow , great video , looks like he gave Dempsey a bit of trouble in the ring. Any chance your taking requests at the moment ?
that just makes his efforts much more admirable , thanks for the info
Thank you! I don't do individual requests because it conflicts with my creative process. However, hearing general feedback and/or specific requests does help. So although I can't promise anything, I would love to hear your request. :)
not a problem , just glad to know my feedback helps .
yh that is amazing to know
is there an english version ?
This was the gentleman’s era
i love ur sugar ray robinson video rez
what is the name of the music? You are a genius Rez
t'es vidéos sont parfaites
holy shit that dude fast!

*1Jean-Claude Bouttier contre Carlos Monzon :
Le 17 juin 1972, les deux athlètes s’affrontent à Colombes. A la sixième reprise, Monzon va au tapis. Sans solution, l’Argentin donne un coup de pouce dans l’œil de son adversaire. Bouttier doit abandonner. « Les gants n’avaient pas de coutures, ce qui rendait possible une telle action. Des années plus tard, en Argentine, Carlos m’a avoué qu’il n’avait trouvé que cette parade pour me battre. »
*2 Le 25 mars 1949, il rencontre LaMotta au Madison Square Garden de New York. Pour le public et les observateurs, il est vainqueur. Mais deux juges, qui devaient etre disqualifiés par la suite, donnent la victoire à LaMotta pour ne pas nuire à de juteux paris. Le 9 décembre 1949, il retrouve de nouveau LaMotta devenu Champion du monde face à Marcel Cerdan par blessure, mais LaMotta refuse de mettre en jeu son titre. Robert Villemain remporte largement le combat face au Champion en titre mais ne peut repartir avec la ceinture. Après sa défaite, LaMotta refusera systématiquement toute autre confrontation entre les deux boxeurs. Ce match est la surprise de l'année Ring Magazine. Villemain a aussi combattu Sugar Ray Robinson. Sans l'avoir battu, il est l'un des rares boxeurs à l'avoir envoyé au tapis.
It's crazy because you couldn't find a song that fits better Carpentier: at the beginning they speak in french and talk about the hardness of the skull... which is one of the most famous Carpentier''s quotes ! and even the girl singing "you gotta move child" sounds like "you gotta move Jack" watching his fight against Dempsey...
He throws the Right hand like an Olympian hurling the Javelin
Magnifique, un travail extraordinaire, poétique. J'aimerai beaucoup connaître l'origine du texte parlé, cela m'évoque des instructions pour un méditant. Merci d'avance.
make durans highlights it would be great
He was to small some would say but then again so was ezzard charles for walcott and dempsey for willard. Prolly one of my favorite game fighters who fought dempsey
In his fight against Dempsey he broke his thumb after this right hand. Dempsey stated that if he could have follow it by a few other punches, the outcome of the fight may have been different. Carpentier manager also declared before the fight that his boxer should win quicky, in the first 4 rounds, after that, his chances will dramatically decrease. In his fight against Senegalese Battling Siki, it is said that they had agree not to hurt each other with power punches, like an exhibition. But after a powerful right hand by Carpentier, Siki got angry and knocked him out. He later stated "Hitting a negro skull, everybody knows that in the world of boxing, this equates to a near certainty of breaking the hand"
Prease reznick do one about Eder Jofre
where a new video?
what size glopes they using?
can someone say me what did he say in spanish or english?
Boxers back then were just pure brawlers.
Nah not rlly
can someone translate what he says in French ,thanks
Très jeune, Georges devient saute ruisseau (commissionnaire) chez un notaire. Selon une légende, il est repéré par François Descamps, professeur de gymnastique, en 1904, alors qu'il se bagarre avec un garçon de son âge lors d'une ducasse ou dans une cour d'école.
Did old school guys even lift heavy weights?
no, never
Just watched the Dempsey fight yesterday. He had really good skills but way undersized for hw
Rez your the best who the fuck are you doe? In 2018 i took boxing late but after a bs defending the police arested me
I would have been a champion to fight against Beterbiev already in my mind in summer 2018. And i taught Joshua was shit.
Your video which I just watch now for fun
is really really really g.
Bless
wow he fought some big people compared to himself holy shit.
do Bob Fitzsimmons ?
Did he fight with La Motta ?
Because that french boxer was fine , It was just La Motta , who couldn't be helped
You might be thinking of Marcel Cerdan.
No, but LaMotta did fight two french boxers, Cerdan and Lauthille
