I always know Johanson had way too much energy to perform those machine gun punches for round 14 😂 definitely early rounds
Burns was knot my uncle from Yonkers New York on my mothers side of the family. He was known for his ability to play the nose harp and danced a jig at Susan Wetliars house on third ave in the afternoon. He often told poems to the local kids because he was a big fan on a hot day in December 4 th. Thank you and goodbye.
👏👏👏👏👏Standing Ovation For An Entertaining & Informative Documentary👏👏👏👏👏
Burns needing to fight for money 2 years after a 30k purse is wild. That's over a million dollars today. He was spending
Jack Johnson beat his ass, and now their making up new shit.
Johnson didn't give Langford, McVey or Jeannette a shot at the title… after Burns gave one to him.
What bullshit.
Jack Johnson was HUGE. His head was just immense. His torso was thick and powerful with thinner, long arms and legs which must have given him quickness. Burns was built completely differently from Johnson, who was just too big for him. Burns seems like a pretty decent guy.
Hardly any missing footage, or footage at all… misleading title
Fighting your opponent and society at the same time 🎉❤🎉
Well done.
Both fighters seem like a class act
Man the ring looks GIANT
Burns had the heart of a lion. Got to respect that .
Also had a mean right cross
I don't see great boxing here, it just shows how delusional are people about old era boxing
Burns did not skip leg day
🤝
Something about the ‘Jeff’ name hit different now. That fool Burns had some swag at the end didn’t he?!?!? I Bet he was a cool dude in the cellar.
I think both of these two deserve a statue and a plaque somewhere beautiful. Plaque has gotta tell the story properly tho
This guy vs. Tyson in his prime would be interesting 😅
Sounds like the man was a class act.
Great video! Thank you!! I love this.
Imagining these worriors let loose in today. I bet Jake Paul would sit out 😅
Great video
Great stuff! Nice job!
Dude you are so Long Winded, WTF?
The issue of European superiority to all others on earth has been thrust to the forefront throughout the ages. Only to be knocked on its ass time and time again, and yet, the message had still not gotten through. Arrogance and stupidity are still at play.
For that time, they do have amazing bodies. Wish I looked half as good as they did
I guess we never knew the real Tommy Burns. He was not the jerk portrayed in previous documentaries.
This is huge I am blown away and so happy at the same time wow this is exciting, I pray for harry greb footage !
That's dirty to claim to be a fight fan and making scams of them.
Terrific, informative and many thanks for sharing ..
This dude is so dark you can’t even see him 😂
