The Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight of 1897 draws to Carson City every outlaw of the territory, eager for the pickings. But Brett Stanton has bigger ideas!
A great deal of care has been taken to ensure authenticity in the settings of the period and details concerning the fight. The boxing style itself has changed so radically since 1897 that John Day and Gil Perkins, who are seen as Corbett and Fitzsimmons, trained industriously for their boxing scenes to create the authentic style. Gil Perkins is a veteran film stunt-man who has staged some of the most exciting fights in screen history, including that between John Wayne and Randolph Scott in The Spoilers, seen in The Western series on BBC-tv.
