I have 3 questions they are.

1). Is the film footage you see of Sullivan before the Johnson-Jeffries fight the only film footage of him there is?


&

2). I have some film of Jeffries talking am guessing out front of his house & film of him trainning another fighter both have some kind of time clock running at the bottom of the picture. I was wondering if any one knows where it's at & 3). what year?.

No, i have didgital re-mastered footage of J.L Sullivan vs Jake Kilrain, 1889, although the fight was not under London Prize rules, the footage is grainey but very watchable, or at least i think so. the fight lasted 75 rounds, yes 75 rounds.

- I have a completely mint original DVD of Buckhorse vs Harry the Clogmaker.

The 268th anniversary of that storied, never before seen except by me, myself and I, is coming up hard next month, circa 1741.

Won't part with it for all the pies in London, I wouldn't, but I do fancy entertaining offers for sport.

Have you found any footage of Jack Dempsey vs Jack Johnson yet, mate?

I have some digital restorations of Gronk vs Neanderthal Ned I and II, (recorded on granite stone tablets in the year 745,604 and 745,606 BC respectively) I'd be willing to trade a copy for the Sullivan vs Kilrain disk. Let me know on that.

Of course you would be responsible for all shipping charges.

Regarding question No. 2: Based on your description, the fighter is Al Morro, a boxer Jeff trained and managed briefly in the early 1930s. The film took place at Jeffries' ranch in Burbank.
