I watched the 19-minute version on YouTube, which is all that remains of the original 1897 documentary. Honestly, it’s kind of mind-blowing that we still have footage of a real boxing match from that year. Sure, at times it’s hard to tell what’s actually happening, but it still feels like watching a genuine piece of history. It’s not just a film it’s a preserved moment in time, and that alone makes it incredibly impressive.
