Destiny: The Story of Barney Ross vs Jimmy McLarnin (Video)

Post by Integrital »

Fellow boxing history fans, please watch the following 10 minute video I narrated, edited by Jordan Singleton of BoloPunch Productions:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnfSMypC5z8

It's only about 10 minutes long, but informative, and Jordan did an excellent job.

Those interested,

Me: @Integrital/@BoxingHistory
Jordan: @JordanSingleton

Thanks!

The 3rd Ross-McClarnin fight is one of my favorite fight films of all time. Excellent quality and the level of skills and stamina displayed is the epitome of the golden age of boxing.

Thank you both for the replies. Both men were truly great fighters in an era full of great fighters, and Jordan put together an excellent video in my opinion. Thanks again.

A fabulous little doc. Really enjoyed that. I think the fighters of the 30's aren't given as much publicity as those from some other eras, in particular when it comes to documentaries. Great narration too.

McLarnin is one of the most underrated fighters in history. I'd have no problem if somebody had him in the all time Top 10. His list of opposition to total fights might be second to none.

Thank you all for the replies and views. Both Jordan and I should be making new videos in the near future.

In the meantime, I'd appreciate it if you looked at my post in the "Off Topic" forum - especially if you liked the narration in that video.

Thanks!

Very good video documentary, really evocative :salut:

The 'Babyface Goes To Hollywood' biography is fantastic; I really liked how McClarnin came across and Pop Foster loved him like a son. McClarnin had some fantastic luck in his life and career. I have to say that Jimmy wrecked some very good fighters and had some really good scalps - he tended to have a bit of a weight advantage in a few of his big fights.
