Year Published: 1940s

Format: 16mm

Description: Created in the 1940s, "Monarchs of the Ring" features terrific and historic boxing footage including the 1921 match between Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentier known as the "Battle of the Century". The Dempsey versus Luis Angel Firpo of 1923 is also shown. It was the first time that a Latin American fighter would challenge for the world Heavyweight title, and it would be one of the defining fights of Dempsey's career. Also shown is the July 21, 1927 fight at Yankee Stadium, Dempsey knocked out future Heavyweight Champion Jack Sharkey in the seventh round. The fight was an elimination bout for a title shot against Tunney. Sharkey was beating Dempsey until the end. The fight ended controversially when Sharkey claimed Dempsey had been hitting him below the belt. When Sharkey turned to the referee to complain, he left himself unprotected. Dempsey crashed a left hook onto Sharkey's chin, knocking him out and the referee counting Sharkey out on a ten-count. The film also includes footage of the notorious fight between Louis and Max Schmeling in 1936 at the Yankee Stadium, in which Louis suffered the first knockout defeat of his career, and Louis versus "Two Ton" Tony Galento, who was able to push Louis to the canvas in the third round of their bout on June 28, 1939, before letting his guard down and being knocked out in the fourth.
