That's incredible! Thanks so much Ric. I've always wanted to see footage of those bouts. Is there any chance you could upload higher quality mpgs or Avis of those somewhere?

That definately isn't Teddy Baldock. Baldock wasn't a southpaw.

Miles Templeton has pointed out to me that in faint writing at the start of the newsreel clip it actually states that this bout is against Swiss Champion Dubois. So it is the below bout, and not Al Brown's fight with Baldock:

1934-04-07 Maurice Dubois 16-1-0
Geneva, Switzerland W KO 2

Thanks to Miles for clarification.

Thanks!

The person who sent me the tape had the wrong fighter listed on the label.

Still, two fantastic film clips. Thanks for sharing them! I wish there was more about from that era.
