Like I mentioned in the other thread,in the chapter in Dan Stribles book FIGHT PICTURES.
He says the Vitagraph film Company had set up to film the fight at the Pavillion at Coney Island in 1899,
but one minute into the first round 12 of the 24 big Arc lamps over-heated and went out
and they kept the camera rolling for the rest fight but it was "browned-out" when they developed the film
and couldn't see anything.
