Really ? then show us the original negative of the filmed fight then,
where is it being curated at ?
and then show us that a portion of 2 or 3 minutes had not been spliced out of it,
from which all the later prints were struck from.
and when you find it, show us the original print of Dempsey vrs Firpo,
or was the amount of time that Jack Dempsey out of the ring greatly exagerrated too ?

yeah definately , the original negative of the film footage must have been spliced to take out those (at least) 10 minutes
between rounds.
