a very good article from what i've read skimming through. even with a skim through i saw some facts i didnt know. like the insults corbett said about Fitz's wife. I had read the storys about Corbett insulting Fitz because of his illiteracy. I'll print the article out and give it a thurogh read tomorrow

I wish a better Video of the fight existed than the copy i have and that is all over youtube

Article is of interest for the film history

but this is cockeyed:

" with young champion James J. Corbett going against the grizzled veteran champ, Bob Fitzsimmons."
