I am not that old. Seems like it from the few films I have seen from the time frame.
Man Jimmy Wilde is open for.... well anything.
LOL at his boxing stance with his hands down.
I know the tape is over 80 years old but you gotta smirk a little. You can tell Jimmy was a good puncher by the sounds of the blows.
his style was kinda primitive but it obviously worked for him...Wilde was 133-4-2 (99) and regarded by many as the GOAT Flyweight...
good find, venom!!
good find, venom!!

Dubbed or not, Jimmy knocked out a ton of fighters in his day, even if the other guys were primitive fighters.
