And why ?
ever notice that watching old boxing matches on film
then watching later boxing matches taped on video ?
I'm guessing around 1968 ?
Thats why all those great old classic ring action photographs from ringside
had been better and more memorable when
there was only three ropes seperating between the boxers and photographers.

Not sure but I wonder if it coincided with the TV age to make it easier to film.
