hey guys, the next parts will have more footage. Feel free to comment suggestions and feedback. english isn't my first language, but i am working on it. This is the first part of my documentary of the great career of the Manassa Mauler Jack Dempsey. It documents his journey from his start as 16 year old Kid Blackie to his victory over Fred Fulton that would secure him a fight against the champion Jess Willard. The video shows you enhanced and rare film footage of Jack Dempsey.

Jack described the guy on the train who helped him as a real life cowboy, spurs and all. Considering Jack would go on to live until 1983, it's amazing how much change in the world he would have seen.

A Flame of Pure Fire is a compilation of all the best bits of Dempsey’s autobiographies. Bit wrong of him to do that but cos of it I think it’s the best biography of him, my favourite autobiography of his is the one he did with his daughter called Dempsey, I think I’ve read almost every book on him except the one about the long count

Jack Dempsey was hard as nails

A great case study in the early life of Jack Dempsey, aka: Kid Blackie. Jack had a real tough young life. He worked as a miner, he would fight all comers in many Colorado bars in addition to his professional fights. Life was tough for America in the early 1900's. Going hungry was a common occurrence with many, Jack was no different. He worked in the dangerous, hard ass work of the mines in numerous Colorado cities. Small mining towns like Cripple Creek Colorado was another town Jack worked in and fought in. It was during this time that a young Doc Kearns met Jack Dempsey and the rest is sports legend! Thanks for this well done and researched video on Jack Dempsey in his early years as a boxer.

Dempsey fought like a heavyweight Roberto Duran. Same pressure tactics, same sophistication, which is hard to spot sometimes because they were so ferocious and hit so hard.

I’ve been collecting films for nearly 30 years and have dealt with some serious life time collectors and had never heard of them before, brilliant research and findings

Je suis français et mon arrière grand père qui faisait de la boxe m a raconté le combat Dempsey Carpentier de 1921..... Mon arrière grand père l avait écouté à la radio et c était un évènement Carpentier a été battu par KO,mais Dempsey a dit bien des années après le combat qu à un moment,un violent direct du français l a fait vaciller :"Si Carpentier m avait poussé un peu,je serais tombé..." ..... Les deux boxeurs sont devenus très bons amis par la suite J adore Jack Dempsey qui a eu vraiment une vie difficile et une carrière exceptionnelle....un vrai dur,un cogneur pur et dur ,et un homme plein d humilité et d intelligence,un peu à l image de Rocky Marciano
