I should have added that Sugar Ray Robinson did not usually watch films of other fighters to study.
but there were exceptions.
He wrote on page 269 of his book that he studied
films of Randy Turpin for the re-match
and also of Gene Fullmer for their third fight.
he also writes that Murray Goodman the publicist for Madison Square Garden
was with him when he studied the Fullmer footage,so maybe he supplied Robinson with the films ?
In another part of the book, Robinson writes that the day after one fight
he went to Lowe's theater in Times Square to watch it on the big screen.

Has the full NBC-TV television broadcast ever show up yet ?
( you can really get a sense of the ring action on the kinescope then from the film IMOP)

Could that have been the Maxim fight? I am sure he wrote that he could not remember the latter parts of the fight so watched on the big screen.
