Dempsey was a legit elite fighter. He was a champion boxer(obviously), a catch wrestler and knew judo.

Description like this is part of what I value about Tyson being somewhat more communicative now that he's become older. I feel like we've missed out on an awful lot of fighters talking about how they fought, both technically and mentally. It's nice to hear it spoken from their point of view

Mr.Dempsey had a cool bar in manhattan and i knew lots of old timers who met him at the bar and said he was a fine gentlemen.

Thank you, so much for this outstanding video on Jack Dempsey. I am currently a very dedicated and true boxer. I’m an ambidextrous southpaw switch hitter that has studied and incorporated Jack Dempsey’s technique: especially the Drop Step, the Dempsey Double Shift and the Dempsey Roll into my style. Jack Dempsey (R.I.P.) just like Bruce Lee (R.I.P.) was a true pioneer to my sport of boxing. Once again, thank you and may my Mighty Lord Jesus Christ always bless you. 🥊💖🙏🏾

That was a great video. Very well presented and very clear and concise. Hope you do more videos like this from iconic legends of sport. Absolutely wonderful, stay blessed my friend.

BTW, Sir. You do and have, Excellent Presentation. I was a young teen In the Olde Bobby Gleason Gym. I believe was, 36th.(?)St. in Manhattan. Around 1980. Well, I Recall a Sparring partner Gerry Cooney had, known as “the African Stallion”! Total respect from all fighters & All who entered that Gym! And likely, Anywhere he Anywhere he Ever went! But, so many years later, I don’t know who the man they called “African Stallion was? I’ve considered was maybe,, James J Woody, who also Could Sparr with and more than “hold his own with virtually Any Heavyweight! Champions & otherwise…. But the Stallion didn’t really have Jim’ Woodys, sense of humor! At all! The “Stallion was serious person. More, thoughtful & precise when he spoke! Always outwardly showed, total Cool & Callm. Probably, in any situation? I met a deatherweight contender named Mike Ayala there. And also, a contender named Wilford Scypion. Though, I Didn’t get to meet him, Hector Camacho, was there. He Almost, at the very start of his Stardom. Charisma with Blinding hand speed, footwork etc. & Now, We all know to be , among the most ruggedly tough! And an absolutely Great! “Cast Iron” chins in the sports History! He had a Great career! & God Bless Hector Camacho! Great fighter!! I turned 14 in that Gym… Lifelong impressions. One thing I do recall the “African Stallion” would say to us, more than once, was of that word, we all call, “Fear! he said, “There is No such Animal!”…✌

❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊..didn't Jack Dempsey devise a fighting style adopted by The United States Army ? He wrote a book himself I think . I learned to fight mainly from a book. I don't see the style I learned very often on UKposts .

I’ve Always tried to Understand why Dempsey is generally in the Mix Among the Top 5 Hvywts of All time. His Style Didn’t seem to be that, of a Thinking Fighter? As a former ABF Amateur, How Old was Dempsey When he Clearly seemed to Understand the Science of the Sport. Just like Joe Louis or Ali. They Where undoubtedly the 2 Best Heavyweights to date. And the Best comparisons are So Subjective. I’m 57, & Wish I’d Read this bit of Knowledge from Dempsey. Like, I often Wonder how I trained to Box 8 years & Learned exactly , What was “The Shift” aka “Solar plexus Punch”! Evidently Spectacularly! against Gentleman Jim Corbett…the footage is grainy? Was next day’s National Headlines. A Great punch with Practice and more….✌

3:33 the way he dodges Willards 1 2 is stn. Gotta love it

Cool video thanks man

In the diagrams, Dempsy is making striking fist contact with the smallest knuckle!!! It's interesting that Bruce Lee was also an advocate of punching with the bottom three knuckles as the surface area striking contact of the punching fist!!! Now, in conventional boxing, don't most boxers strike with the top larger two knuckles?

Mr.Dempsey knocked out 3 muggers out side madison square garden in 1971 at the Ali vs Frazier fight!😴😴😴

Jack dempsey: most powerfull left hook of all time, iron chin, etc, etc

Pleasee do some videos in the books of philadelphia jack o brien and bob fitzsimmons

Subscribe very good information 👌

Jack Dempsey was primarily a fist-fighter and then a boxer. He had fought bare-fisted in barrooms. Plus he was fortunate enough to have met old-timers who had boxed in the late 19th century bareknuckle era and taught him the secrets.

Against Willard his manager claimed he used plasterer parries on his wraps.Willard got up several times so wasn't knocked out but succumbed to broken ribs a jawbone making it impossible to continue.Good probability Dempsey cheated to win the title Willard was abrave fighter but never fought again after the injuries he sustained in that fight.
