European Featherweight Championship Covent Garden, National Sporting Club, 1919-10-20 Charles Ledoux (France) 75-10-5 w Jim Driscoll (Wales) 62-4-7 Last fight for the great Welsh fighter
I’m all the papers of the time it says Driscoll, despite looking ill and only getting out of bed a few hours before the fight, done a masterclass in out pointing the great LeDoux until he got caught with a body blow at the end of the 15th and was finished the next round. They were going to be a shorter fight at first and if so Driscoll would have won it, even Ledoux claps at the old Driscoll’s ringcraft towards the end
yes you do ya just gotta know what yer watching! theres also higher level defense at play and better infighting ..this era was better than anything out today and arguably anything since the 1960s
Two wonderfully talented boxers!!!!! It was great to witness a display of scientific in-fighting in this particular vintage film.

You don't see this angle from fights in this era too often.
