Did you know there are two versions of this film?(sort of)
The other was secretly filmed from the top of a nearby
tall building with a telescopic lens by a rival company.
But I thinkthe police got word and made them shut down
and only a round or two of the fight was filmed by them.
(same thing happened with the Johnson vrs Willard fight too,
a second sub-par unauthorized bootleg filming of that filmed
with a telescopic lens from a nearby hilltop,that unathorized filming
actualy played in theaters in Havana Cuba before the big budget production))

Anyone know who Dempsey's sparring partner is at about 15:00 of the film? The guy has excellent footwork/skills.

I think someone once did a thread on the sparring partners
of Jack Dempsey.Which ones he used during his various fights.
I know that George Carpentier sparred a few rounds
with Gentlemen Jim Corbett ,if only to promote this fight.
