Product Description
In 1867 boxing underwent some important changes. Gloves had to be worn, scoring was limited to three minute rounds and the referee had full control. As it was the eighth Marquis of Queensbury that played a key role in these changes the first World Championship in 1884 was held under 'Queensbury Rules'. This DVD shows some of the best boxing bouts since then.

The DVD has clips of old fights, in -as expected- poor poor quality.
It sells cheap, yet I'm giving it 3 stars (instead of 5) for disclosure reasons: the title should be "45 (not full) fights".
Beyond the 3-pound mark, Youtube clips become a winning alternative.

Unless you are a scholar of old fights I doubt you'll enjoy this. Logie Baird had only just invented the TV when these fights were filmed. The quality is terrible. JP

Unfortunately the newsreel clips used in this dvd are very old and, in some cases, so dark that the tops of the fighters cannot be seen. The post-war clips are better and I have enjoyed watching a number of fights which I had previously only listened to on the wireless (that word gives my age away). If you are an enthusiast or researching a PhD in pugilism, it's a good buy.
