A Fight to Remember

on BBC Two England

Introduced by Harry Carpenter.

Langford never held a title: many people said he should have had Johnson's. Matched here over 45 rounds with Jim Flynn - as far as we know this is the only film of the Boston Tar Baby in action.

Sam Langford v. Jim Flynn

2.50 a.m. and lights are going on all over Britain - nowhere is there more activity than in the small Welsh town of Tonypandy. It is the morning of August 31, 1937, and the idol of Wales, Tommy Farr, is about to go the distance with the Brown Bomber.
Yankee Stadium, New York: August 30, 1937
