Check the back of boxing mags, the classifieds? There are usually ads from guys selling film. I've purchased quite a bit from Danny Plunket, in New Jersey. I don't have the address right here with me, however

Got a couple of grainy Laszlo Papp clips. Will they do?

Wy would anyone want to witness the Griffith - Paret tragedy is beyond comprehension. There's no enjoyment in it whatsoever. Can't bring myself to watch the ending in Benn - McLellan

perhaps for historical study...people like watching the Kennedy assassination film, too (hopefully for historical study)...

The last round of the Griffith/Paret fight demonstrates how not to referee a fight...maybe it should be required watching for new refs...
