Tomasoni v Cooper

Post by dalcumly »

The last/only time I've seen this fight was on BBC Grandstand a few days after the fight.
Has anyone seen it since - or has a recording of the fight?

most likely a causulity of the "Great Wiping" by the brain trusts of the BBC back in the early 1970's.
BTW anyone know where one can see the clips of Ingemar Johansson vrs Henry Cooper ?

Sadly not. I've heard a lot about the fight and that how Michael Winner, Sean Connery and Stanley Baker were in the crowd and had to duck for cover when it all kicked off.

I wonder if we have any Italian boxing fans on this website. Although the BBC covered the fight, I'd be amazed if the Italian TV stations didn't broadcast it ?

just raising the question again after some 5 months.

Has anyone got a copy of Cooper v Tomasoni on film?

There are nice views of Cooper dropping Ali with a nice left hook... Too bad it happened at the end of a round.
