Just to clarify I do know Dempsey wasn't a defensive genius but I thought it was interesting to see someone effectively rolling and slipping even as far back as 1919 in his fight with Jess Willard. Dempsey truly was amazing!
If I recall correctly one of Tyson's favourite boxers was jack Dempsey, and cus da mato used to make Tyson watch and study all his fights. Because like Tyson, Dempsey was a small heavy weight, even by the standards of heavy weights in those days.
Like your videos! will you ever do one for James Quick Tillis? I know he never won a world title but he was a great fighter and fought most of the best fighters from two generations.
haNZAgod Was Jack aided by the fact that he was standing almost out of range while slipping? Was he a good judge of range like Ali? Notice where his feet are if they fully extend their arm.
+haNZAgod Saw a good film on Tillis v Tyson by Barry Robinson, it would interesting to see your take on that fight, also you could study why he was less effective against Frank Bruno later in his career.
i think dempsey revolutionised boxing in many respects , that perpetual bobbing and weaving was pretty unique back then , i also love how he winds up square and then weaves back into orthodox position , if look close you can using that lead shoulder shell , a la mayweather/toney ..great stuff !
"Championship Fighting: Explosive Punching & Aggressive Defense" pick it up people, seriously, baring a few minor modern adjustments it is one of the best books on boxing techniques and ideas.
@lanzacash Truth all newer boxer would beat older boxers, since the newer boxers built there styles off of older boxers. The greatest boxer is Floyd Mayweather, only because he was born today with the knowledge of boxing history available to him. If these people were born in similar times it would be different. We can only be great because those before us were great. When it comes to who the best for their time though, Dempsey was eons ahead of the competition. Liston would win only because people like Dempsey made boxing progress. However for their times Dempsey was the better boxer, he forced the sport to become technical. No more being strong and punching hard. Because of Jack people had to become "boxers" and not fighters who just punched.
@@MrSirFluffy not realy thats bullshit styles make fights..If thats the case frazier would beat liston cause he came after him yet he was swarmer just like dempsey. Shu! Get Smart!
Dempsey was so electrifying, new, & exciting. Bobbing, weaving, slipping, &, knocking people out, they thought he didn't know how to box. Thought he was doing something illegal it looked do differently than the past gentleman style of boxing. Their is a reason he still holds crowd attendance records.
A ferocious gladiator in his prime was dempsey. This video shows his true skills and then add it all together and you get the full package. Well put together video , and the music fits perfectly for the time .
Great video. Great music. What Dempsey had goes beyond boxing. A lot of the greats had it. Call it style, looks, balance, grace of movement, or uniqueness...they were cool to watch. Yes even a fighter like Rocky Marciano had it. It's really all those things I guess. All those things in one package.
An interesting aside. Harry Greb sparred Dempsey 3 times and beat him pretty bad in 2/3 times. He also tried to get a fight with Dempsey on several occasions, but Dempsey & manager "ignored" Greb.
Yea I read that quite some time ago, Greb truly was an amazing fighter. Such a shame no fight films exist of him, I'm sure he'd be one of my all time favorites.
nice video and great music as always. As a musician I have to say that your choice of music is by far the best of any sport channel I know here on youtube :)
This video here, is just beautiful, you should get an award for this right here. I'm gonna subscribe just to show my appreciation to this video. A compilance of one of the first people that have light to boxing and made it what it is today.
How many times have you ever seen an aggressive heavyweight defend as well as Dempsey does in the sequence at 1:28? He parried a jab and cross with his left and then slipped under a hook. His shoulder roll at 1:35 was fantastic, too.
I thought that too but after listening to Cus D'Amato, Dempsey actually leans and bends his back which makes him vulnerable to a outfighter like Ali (jab hand can push on Dempsey head to keep him away) while Rocky wouldn't have that disadvantage.
I agree mate alot of these so called fighters are soft bastard harry greb faught 3 hall of fame heavy weights in the space of 4 weeks all went 15 rounds
Dempsey was also one of the best boxers ever even though my favorite heavyweight was and will always be rocky marciano but Dempsey was a true great love fighters like these 2 they was both awesome
Ive never understood people's worship of Marciano, but Dempsey had a style. Mike Tyson once said he was crazy about Jack Dempsey because of his ferocity. I can see the influence.
Marciano had the talent of raw power and an ungodly chin, and the greatest endurance of all time to match, but he didn't have the style Dempsey did. That being said, Marciano is my favorite fighter and in my top 3 all time heavyweights Think about it this way, jack Dempsey is a very refined and well cut ruby, while Marciano is a raw diamond
49 and 0. Knocked out 43 out 49 opponents. Beat the best the division had to offer. Multiple times. Knocked the great Joe louis out of the ring. He retired multiple opponents..... what don't you understand about a resume like that?
@@kaseywinbornery5258 He only had 6 title defenses and he was behind on his biggest fights, until he got the KO. Wilder relies on the KO because he’s a bad boxer. Marciano was the same, except he never faced a Tyson Fury caliber opponent. He retired at 31 before that happened.
No need to choose if you can watch both! Marciano is rightly called "awkwardly clever" and had own defensive style. But Dempsey was much faster and more flexible. Maricano may have had an edge in physical strength, but his blows were clubbing and all over the place; Dempsey was far more precise and explosive. Dempsey over the Rock without question, but they are both greats.
Rock had underrated defense/technical skills he was absolutely not the mindless brawler casuals and haters will tell u he's what many call "an awkward fighter" not the prettiest style but he made it work. Endless cardio giant punch and even bigger heart. He did it all with just about everything going against him from age to anatomy
When you're Mike Tyson's boxing hero, you're good at boxing. It's funny, Dempsey used a lot of that Cus D'mato school of head movement and slipping, combined with almost jumping at his opponent from a crouched position to quickly close distance, switching from defense to offense in an instant a la Mike Tyson.
Thanks so much, I never understood what Jack Dempsey meant by dodging a right hand with the bob and weave. The illustrations in the book can only describe so much.
Man I swear to God I will defeat all men on earth and no man can be better than me if I don't give up IVE AVENGED SO MANY LOSSES ITS THE WAY OF DEMPSEY I'm glad to say my fight name will be jack Dempsey
After seeing Joshua and Klitschko this week it just reminds me how luck the two of them are to not be on the era of Dempsey , Ali or Tyson . They would've gotten killed
You people dont know shit about boxing..These big stiffs wouldnt last 5 rounds with any of the legends..They could punch but just look at the way they move..If flatfooted Andy Ruiz kod Joshua imagine what dempsey will do to him..Now Fury is the exception but his style is old school because hes a student of the game
C' PyRo A “huge” heavyweight in Primo Carnera (6’6, 260 pounds, all muscle) was considered one of the “weaker” heavyweight champions of the 1920-1930s era of boxing. He lost his title after Max Baer put him in the hospital.
Dempsey is the fuking legend, he took on guys bigger than him, and knock them out cold. No fuking boxing divisions baby it's a war, and the man knew how to do it. Read his book, there's a funny quote that he left: "Even a baby accelerated with enough force falling from a window could knock out a man" I got some hard punching combos and tactics from the lessons i learned from him. The legend.
Gene Tunney said that Dempsey was very good at rolling with the punches. According to Tunney many punches that looked like good hits actually wasn't hitting Dempsey hard at all.
People watching this thinking old fighters couldn't take modern fighters must take into account that fighters back then didn't have the conditioning fighters today have but have better skills.
Boxing is 50% learning to avoid getting hit or getting hit hard. No such thing as a good chin. A good chin is nothing more than conditioning and making yourself hard to hit with a solid punch. Even Marciano and Tyson were always crouching and moving the head. My biggest complaint with boxing movies is how often a so called good boxer allows himself to get hit. The worst offender was Sylvester Stallone in his Rocky movies. In one of his movies he actually lets his opponent whack him repeatedly on the head while Rocky says "Ain't so bad! Ain't so bad!" Yeah right. Try that in a real fight!
Which is exactly what I said but I used the phrase "making yourself hard to hit with a solid punch". Conditioning is key. That's why first round knockouts are rare. I've seen many knockouts where the loser is awake but hasn't the strength to get up. You can be so exhausted in the late rounds of a fight that your leg and arm muscles are shaking. You get knocked down and you'll have trouble getting up, even if your mind is clear. The same boxer who when in superb shape could bounce back from a combination, is a totally different fighter if he steps into the ring and is out of shape. Compare for example Willard vs Johnson and Willard vs Dempsey. Same man, yet not the same man.
Yes, Clubber Lang hit Rocky's gloves which were next to his head. Rocky's head moved with each punch. Yes, Rocky's gloves took some of the steam out of those punches, but he was at the very least, distracted each time, unable to counterpunch. That was less intelligent than when earlier in the fight, Rocky was slipping and ducking Lang's punches. It's much more tiring to miss a punch than to land one. When you miss a punch, you're also off balance for a split second. If you're going to let your opponent punch himself out on your body, it's best to do it like Ali did against Foreman. Lean back on loose ropes, forcing the hitter to lean forward, thus robbing his punches of power.
Louis King I'm not disagreeing that letting yourself get hit is a good thing. It's really stupid. however, there absolutely is such a thing as having a good chin. some people naturally can take much harder shots than others. that doesn't mean they should rely on that. But it's there nevertheless.
And this is what scares me about elite boxers if you ever try to punch them in a street fight there training just kicks in and you will be left a bloody mess
i could be wrong here but something tells me dempsey is a converted southpaw , something about the way he keeps landed square footed against his opponent , i think i read somewhere that tyson was left handed also !
weight dosent mean too much against a Dempsey type fighter. you have to remember how explosive and a fast and aggressive starter Dempsey was and how good he was once got on the inside. he could land from all angles in there . tua was a more one dymentional , methodical , slow starter and also good on the inside but not quite as good or electric on the inside as a Dempsey. of course if tua lands early he will go for the kill but he'd have his hands full early against Jack Dempsey who be attacking from the go. we saw what he did to Willard who had a excellent chin and 65 pound weigh advantage and was 66 to demseys 61 . Dempsey just went through him. same with firpo who was a solid 220 very strong and durable guy who was supposed to have a excellent chin yet Dempsey went through him also. his proved he can destroy a far bigger man with ease. of course tua had a excellent chin but if Dempsey couldent knock him out he'd defo wear him down. you'd never know for sure but I think Dempsey has the advantage. his more of a dynamic fighter, a better combination puncher, a better inside fighter , he can match tuas power and has a excellent chin in his own right.
MrRichiehamburg that's bullshit . boxing has gone down my friend. look at the crop of heavyweights out there now. they wouldent last 2 seconds in the 70s the wouldent have the tenacity or skill level for it . you think size makes a fighter ? you think strenght and conditioning coaches are good for boxing? it's bullshit . they found a way to make money and worm there way In . it's all bullshit . lets take Joe calzague as a example never lifted weights trained old school and he fought old school the guy was like a modern day Henry Armstrong that's why he had so much success don't you get it. look at Bernard Hopkins and Floyd may weather there old school fighters bro. the train old school .the use old school techniques. bro old school fighters are superior. every body is taking about ggg. I garentee you put him in with a Marven hagler or Jake lamota he would get his ass handed to him plain and simple. they dident come up with no padded record like him. they did it the hard way. lamota had to go through the whole division twice beating every top contender along the way and bein 10 years past his best before he even got a title shot. Ali in his prime would dance rings around any heavyweight that's out there today. you don't have the old school trainers any more now all you have is yes men afraid to tell the fighter what to do because of the money his geting. before the trainers were in charge the fighters were hungrier . you dident have the 17 weight class bullshit you have now , super this , super that , 4 belts and bitchen over money and contracts and fights fallen through. you think the guys out there now are fighting the best competition out there ? think again. now it's about less risk more Money catch weights for advantages and all other type of bullshit. you think fighters today are better? let me tell you something. compared to old school fighters of the past the fighters now are like faggots and that's bein brutally honest. Jack Dempsey was 13 and a half stone and take him as he is in his prime just teach him not to hit a opponent when there down and he would have annailated any heavyweight that's out there now including both klitchkos at there best . forget about the adjustment bullshit there's not much needs to be changed there atal. poeple have a misconception and think o its a cruiserweight and think of the gollywogs that's out there now with there upright stance, walking into shots in straight lines and not knowing how to fight on the inside parring a punch , headmovement ect. they fight one one way . hands up, stay back , move in a circle. Jack Dempsey was whole different animal , same with tyson who the fuck would last against Tyson with the crop that's out there now. and dont tell me antoney Joshua cause I'll tell you what antoney Joshua is .his another frank Bruno that's what he is. which Isent too bad atal but that's as far as his talent goes .
All boxers have good defensive moves. Tyson and Frazier may not have been dancers, but they were always bobbing and weaving, trying to avoid a direct hit. No one likes to take a direct shot. Even tough guys like Tyson and Foreman are made of the same stuff we all are. Hit them hard and they'll go down. The only difference is if they move well, even a hard punch won't land squarely and if they're in great shape, they can recover from a good punch.
Fighting and training back in the day was real old school,...hard work, clean living , and men as hard as iron , ...who fought with their hearts,...but always respectful and dignified to their opponents in build-up to fights ,...and after the fights.....unlike the ugly badmouthing antics of the modern boxers, who lack respect and have no class.
Dident arcel also say he belived demspey was the best heavyweight ever? I belive he said that . I agree with arcel he'd fucking annailate the crop that's out there out now. it be like puting a smaller yet tougher version of Mike tyson among them.
we have 3 fights of Dempsey in his prime and 8 fights in total plus I believe 2 exhibition bouts. it's not ideal but its. enough so what's your point . I believe Tyson was better defensively. Sam Langford did say that , Dempsey also said it about Langford. just to clarify the fights in his primr were Willard, Brennan and carpenter so sorry you are wrong about
Dempsey is a bad matchup for Johnson, Dempsey's raw aggression and speed can get past almost any guard, and Johnson didn't have the chin to take dempsey to the late rounds where Johnson's stamina would take effect Dempsey by brutal mid round KO after a hard fight
Hi just wondered if anyone could tell me what kind of training regime he followed? And boxers of that time? Was it a lot of weights or just plain boxing practise? Thanks!
both. But the BEST practiced and they practiced and practiced there signature moves the moves that gave them the best bang for there buck. instead of learning a bunch of shit and doing them half assed. EVERY great fighter had his signature punch or whatever that he practiced the shit out of...
how do I recommend to train a fighter? you work with there strengths . you work with there natural assets. if his tall you teach them to keep distance and utilize there reach but if his not very athletic you make them technical , get them used to the clinch. if his more of a athletic tall fighter you make him into a Ali type fighter I guess , keep the distance also but more footwork, reflexes , a smaller fighter well Dempseys a good example . Bob and weave , close the gap , stay on the inside it all depends on the fighter though . interesting question realy why do you ask?
Just to clarify I do know Dempsey wasn't a defensive genius but I thought it was interesting to see someone effectively rolling and slipping even as far back as 1919 in his fight with Jess Willard. Dempsey truly was amazing!

With all due respect, Dempsey was a defensive genius. Read his book. He invented bobbing and weaving.
His thoughts on power punching and muscle elasticity are amazing too. The man was ahead of his time
he wasn't as small as people think. He was small compared to Willard since willard was a giant but he was bigger than the average man
He never did it in his fights
He didnt bend his knees and so if he fought someone like tyson he would ne killed
@@xxn0_luc_25xx2 i dont think tyson would fight his hero
his back muscles are incredible
The music was perfect for this video
i think dempsey revolutionised boxing in many respects , that perpetual bobbing and weaving was pretty unique back then , i also love how he winds up square and then weaves back into orthodox position , if look close you can using that lead shoulder shell , a la mayweather/toney ..great stuff !
He also shoulder rolls a right hand from Carpentier at 1:35 and then counters with an uppercut, a lot like Toney and Mayweather were known for.

Boogie Belgique - Hello Sinner
Thanks so much :)
And this is what scares me about elite boxers if you ever try to punch them in a street fight there training just kicks in and you will be left a bloody mess
i could be wrong here but something tells me dempsey is a converted southpaw , something about the way he keeps landed square footed against his opponent , i think i read somewhere that tyson was left handed also !
Tyson can be seen signing autographs holding the pen in his right hand, if that means anything. th-cam.com/video/yu9RhtKtZVE/w-d-xo.html
1:41 look at this big guy here, he ate the whole fuking DEMPSEY ROLL.
weight dosent mean too much against a Dempsey type fighter. you have to remember how explosive and a fast and aggressive starter Dempsey was and how good he was once got on the inside. he could land from all angles in there . tua was a more one dymentional , methodical , slow starter and also good on the inside but not quite as good or electric on the inside as a Dempsey. of course if tua lands early he will go for the kill but he'd have his hands full early against Jack Dempsey who be attacking from the go. we saw what he did to Willard who had a excellent chin and 65 pound weigh advantage and was 66 to demseys 61 . Dempsey just went through him. same with firpo who was a solid 220 very strong and durable guy who was supposed to have a excellent chin yet Dempsey went through him also. his proved he can destroy a far bigger man with ease. of course tua had a excellent chin but if Dempsey couldent knock him out he'd defo wear him down. you'd never know for sure but I think Dempsey has the advantage. his more of a dynamic fighter, a better combination puncher, a better inside fighter , he can match tuas power and has a excellent chin in his own right.
my favorite boxer 1#
Brutality
when it comes to fighting. ...There's no school like the old school.
MrRichiehamburg that's bullshit . boxing has gone down my friend. look at the crop of heavyweights out there now. they wouldent last 2 seconds in the 70s the wouldent have the tenacity or skill level for it . you think size makes a fighter ? you think strenght and conditioning coaches are good for boxing? it's bullshit . they found a way to make money and worm there way In . it's all bullshit . lets take Joe calzague as a example never lifted weights trained old school and he fought old school the guy was like a modern day Henry Armstrong that's why he had so much success don't you get it. look at Bernard Hopkins and Floyd may weather there old school fighters bro. the train old school .the use old school techniques. bro old school fighters are superior. every body is taking about ggg. I garentee you put him in with a Marven hagler or Jake lamota he would get his ass handed to him plain and simple. they dident come up with no padded record like him. they did it the hard way. lamota had to go through the whole division twice beating every top contender along the way and bein 10 years past his best before he even got a title shot. Ali in his prime would dance rings around any heavyweight that's out there today. you don't have the old school trainers any more now all you have is yes men afraid to tell the fighter what to do because of the money his geting. before the trainers were in charge the fighters were hungrier . you dident have the 17 weight class bullshit you have now , super this , super that , 4 belts and bitchen over money and contracts and fights fallen through. you think the guys out there now are fighting the best competition out there ? think again. now it's about less risk more Money catch weights for advantages and all other type of bullshit. you think fighters today are better? let me tell you something. compared to old school fighters of the past the fighters now are like faggots and that's bein brutally honest. Jack Dempsey was 13 and a half stone and take him as he is in his prime just teach him not to hit a opponent when there down and he would have annailated any heavyweight that's out there now including both klitchkos at there best . forget about the adjustment bullshit there's not much needs to be changed there atal. poeple have a misconception and think o its a cruiserweight and think of the gollywogs that's out there now with there upright stance, walking into shots in straight lines and not knowing how to fight on the inside parring a punch , headmovement ect. they fight one one way . hands up, stay back , move in a circle. Jack Dempsey was whole different animal , same with tyson who the fuck would last against Tyson with the crop that's out there now.
and dont tell me antoney Joshua cause I'll tell you what antoney Joshua is .his another frank Bruno that's what he is. which Isent too bad atal but that's as far as his talent goes .
David I agree with what a lot you're saying. My question is then. ... how do you recommend to train a fighter? ?
your music taste is very good
it was done to help his attack to get into place to deliver his short hooks
All boxers have good defensive moves. Tyson and Frazier may not have been dancers, but they were always bobbing and weaving, trying to avoid a direct hit. No one likes to take a direct shot. Even tough guys like Tyson and Foreman are made of the same stuff we all are. Hit them hard and they'll go down. The only difference is if they move well, even a hard punch won't land squarely and if they're in great shape, they can recover from a good punch.
Fighting and training back in the day was real old school,...hard work, clean living , and men as hard as iron , ...who fought with their hearts,...but always respectful and dignified to their opponents in build-up to fights ,...and after the fights.....unlike the ugly badmouthing antics of the modern boxers, who lack respect and have no class.
Wow! I thought Iron Mike started those tactics with the head movement. Dempsey was a freaking genius...
yeah me too..bravo dempsey
Y'all don't know boxing
Dident arcel also say he belived demspey was the best heavyweight ever? I belive he said that . I agree with arcel he'd fucking annailate the crop that's out there out now. it be like puting a smaller yet tougher version of Mike tyson among them.
what is the name of the song?
Boogie Belgique - Hello Sinner
damn him nd frazier has the same bob nd weave style
we have 3 fights of Dempsey in his prime and 8 fights in total plus I believe 2 exhibition bouts. it's not ideal but its. enough so what's your point . I believe Tyson was better defensively. Sam Langford did say that , Dempsey also said it about Langford. just to clarify the fights in his primr were Willard, Brennan and carpenter so sorry you are wrong about
What did he weigh looks like a mix of Tyson and beterbiev
speed of a welterweight also
Jack Dempsey vs Jack Johnson, who wins??
Arco Iris Two of my all time favorites. Greatest fight in history
Arco Iris Dempsey ( he beat Jess up bad and Jess had some trouble besting Johnson so I think Dempsey could whip him)
Arco Iris Two greats: would have to go with Johnson, the bigger man
Dempsey is a bad matchup for Johnson, Dempsey's raw aggression and speed can get past almost any guard, and Johnson didn't have the chin to take dempsey to the late rounds where Johnson's stamina would take effect
Dempsey by brutal mid round KO after a hard fight
Dempsey
👍👍
Thanks for the vid haNZ. Who did the music and who was the singer? btw, I ate at Dempsey's in New York, and shook his hand long ago.
Boogie Belgique - Hello Sinner
Thanks haNz.. Got it.
Hi just wondered if anyone could tell me what kind of training regime he followed? And boxers of that time? Was it a lot of weights or just plain boxing practise? Thanks!
both. But the BEST practiced and they practiced and practiced there signature moves the moves that gave them the best bang for there buck. instead of learning a bunch of shit and doing them half assed. EVERY great fighter had his signature punch or whatever that he practiced the shit out of...
Josh Soprano you can Google "Jack dempsey workout routine" and you Will be able to find a workout routine he did daily
What is that music??
For Do Dempsey roll,you must be able to endure several hit before beggin to be efficient....
anyone checking here after watching Hajime no ippo anime :)
who is the big guy wearing the tank top? were they allowed to fight with tank tops in those days?
It's a sparring session.
My guess is that it was Bill Tate, a regular in Dempsey's camps.
how do I recommend to train a fighter? you work with there strengths . you work with there natural assets. if his tall you teach them to keep distance and utilize there reach but if his not very athletic you make them technical , get them used to the clinch. if his more of a athletic tall fighter you make him into a Ali type fighter I guess , keep the distance also but more footwork, reflexes , a smaller fighter well Dempseys a good example . Bob and weave , close the gap , stay on the inside it all depends on the fighter though . interesting question realy why do you ask?
What about a junior jones highlight? I can't find any hl of him
I've got one, just type Junior Jones highlight in on TH-cam and it should be right there.
