DVD Reviews of 45 Fantastic Fights Of The Century

DVD Review: Excellent footage
Summary: 5 Stars

Any boxing fan would appreciate this dvd, showing actual clips of unforgettable matches. Your dvd library will thank you for this addition.

DVD Review: Its only four dollars...
Summary: 3 Stars

This dvd is pretty crappy(it consists mostly just of fight clips, not full fights), but come on, its only four dollars. If you are interested in the history of boxing, then its probably worth the four bucks for you to buy it, just to see how boxing has evolved and what not.


DVD Review: OK but not great
Summary: 3 Stars

There's just a wee bit of hyperbole in the title of this DVD. Some of the fights are not fantastic, and the documentary covers only the first half of the century. Except for very short bouts, only bits and pieces of fights are included. The early fights are from old films that are hard to see and unrestored. Many of the great old championship fights are not there--such as Willard vs. Johnson. And of the more recent bouts, there is none with Jake LaMotta and only a couple of pieces of Sugar Ray Robinson fights, none of the classic Robinson/Zale fights, Robinson/Basilio bouts.

Perhaps the producers tried to pack 10 pounds of material in a 5-pound bag. They might have given us a two or more DVDs in the package with a wider selection of material, or chosen better and complete bouts for a one DVD package. There's no Ali, no Sugar Ray Leonard, Larry Holmes, Mike Tyson, etc. The latest fights are from the 1950s, as far as I could see.

Still, this is better than nothing at all, if you are a boxing fan. The Louis/Schmeling fights alone are worth the price.
