Chess Shorts: Elo Ratings and Chess Titles Explained
Wow he liked Jesse James and he died like Jesse James with a back shot.. only Jesse was shot in the back of his head
Has anyone ever unearthed how and when Goldie Smith died?
Okay 😮
How did they introduce Joe first and Conn second?!!
I've always loved that Dynamite knows the shit outta boxing history. Cus man...
In the greatest fighter of all time above Sam Langford and many other great riders is the Russian fighter Fedor emelianenko
Sam Langford was the greatest American fighter of all time better than Muhammad Ali Mike Tyson Jack Johnson Jack Dempsey was afraid of Sam Langford
Con said after losing the first fight that he had been winning by choosing to slug it out with Joe:“What's the sense of being Irish if you can't be dumb?
What about my uncle Freddy Mills
Never heard of him
Some of the AI art is kind of low key horror material... Melting faces and 13 fingers stuff...
Papke fought in g- string!!
What a great video. Well done.
Nat Flessieur did not consider Ali as one of the ten best heavyweight chaperons.
Nor should we.
Man, learn how to narrate. You talk too fast, bro. Hard to follow.
Thank you for putting so much effort into this research and subsequent upload. I found this fascinating. Stanley Ketchel has always been on my radar since I was a teenager and budding boxing historian. Thank you again. Great piece of work.
Thank you, I appreciate it. Even living near Springfield, I only first heard about this story a few years ago. I started looking for old newspapers thinking I'd write an article for Boxing News and eventually decided on the documentary.
@@adamgwhitaker Did Boxing News take it up? What about Ring Mag? Good luck anyway. I wish you all the best.
Well researched and interesting enough to have me glued to the screen, thanks for your efforts on a brilliant documentary of a fighter that has been forgotten by the majority of boxing fans
Thank you. I appreciate you watching.
Great work and effort to tell this story! Ketchel was one best fighters ever. Imagine what he would’ve accomplished if he wasn’t murdered at age 24.
Thank you for watching. I do wonder if he would have soon retired or if being a rancher wouldn't have held his interest.
thank you so much for this, I have been a lifelong admirer on SK's and read everything I could about him... I am also a writer and always thought a biopic of him and Rube Waddell would be something I would love to write and see. What colorful lives packed into such short ones of both men! They died 4 years apart. I wonder if they ever met? I collect tons of cards and 2 of my most prized are Stanley and Rube's, both minted in their eras.
Thank you for watching. It's definitely an interesting story and could make a good movie.
After Johnson knocked Ketchel down he is seen flicking Ketchels teeth off his glove.
He does swipe at his glove, but I couldn't tell if he was knocking teeth off, as the story goes, or just clearing away dirt he picked up from the knockdown. I do mention it later as being one of the claims around the fight.
I’ve been reading about Ketchel for over 65 years. He was a wild man with wild swinging punches. To me hard to tell his place in MW history as more scientific fighters emerged but certainly an all time great who probably had not reached his peak.
@justthink5854 yes It’s really too bad no films of Greb in a fight exist, at least none have been found. I found it interesting reading Adam Pollocks so far two part, a third is soon released, bio of Dempsey. By far the most detailed comprehensive bio of Dempsey and lots of information and newspaper reports on Greb including opinions by fans and reporters. I think I learned more about Greb reading the Dempsey bio than the bios I have read about Greb. Pollock uses newspaper reports from all over the world and since Greb and Dempsey were contemporaries lots of opinions of Greb and his fighting style are included. A great read for real boxing fans.
wow! over 65 years? may i ask how old you are? thats really impressive. i assume you've followed the sport that whole time too? i would have loved to have been around for that many of the great eras in boxing.
It’s not the square circle, it’s the square ring!!
It's called the squared CIRCLE! 😠😡😠
@@TheBatugan77 brain dead
@@stivs06👈😡 BootUpYourAss.
wow so much footage and newspaper clips from a billion years ago wasn't he killed by a jealous husband?
He was killed by the husband of the woman who was making him breakfast
Back in the 70s, I read that Mr Ketchel was caught screwing a farmer's wife, and killed by the husband.
Great documentary... ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐...Thanks 👍....Subscribed ...
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Looks like Connor Mcgreggor
The only reason jack johnson wasn't klled there was a lot of money to be with a white fighter who could beat him otherwise he would have disappeared
Ketchel was just a smaller version of Dempsey
Really good work, this was great. Good narration and great details. But I hate the AI drawings.
Thank you for watching. The AI art was the only affordable option since so many visuals were needed due to few photographs being available. I usually get my brother to draw pictures but this one needed too many.
Thank you! Great video 🍻🍻
Thank you for watching.
I believe Bob Fitzsimmons was the 1st to keep a Lion as a pet.
Duran and Tyson both copied him
Many thanks for the upload, Ketchel was a real character! 🎉
Thank you for watching. I'm happy to hear you liked it.
I didn't realise that Conn was introduced after Louis!
I love when Mike says something like, "Stanley was a real wild and crazy guy." This was a gripping and thoroughly enjoyable documentary. I wish more creators made documentaries about boxers EXACTLY like this, and often ! Rip All kilt boxers
Thank you. I'm happy you liked it. I'm planning more boxing and baseball documentaries so please subscribe.
@@adamgwhitaker I subscribed today and look forward to more of your docs. I love to learn bro. Appreciate you
A fly on the wall when Cus was telling Mike all those stories....
That guy better have bought his kid that violin. Kid's got 6 fingers besides a thumb, plus he's got telekinetic powers. "Buy me a violin, Dad, or I"m gonna wish you into the corn field!".
I know right.
17:45 AI picture so bad it's kind of good.
I didn't have much of a budget or many pictures to use because of how much time has passed.
Always loved Kahn's balls V Louis. Could ya imagine Same w Ketchel goin up v Jack I mean that was a suicide wish aykm props, props
Bobby beat Larson and Taimanov 6-0 not Tal
Amazing to see how brainwashed kasparov actually is
I don't agree at all with Nigel Short when he said if Morphy played against Carlsen today, he'd get thrashed. We all know and is mentioned in this video and the prior episode, that Paul Morphy never studied chess, never reviewed games, never read a chess book. He did not have to do it because he was a prodigy with a natural talent. Having that in mind, if Morphy were alive today, if given time, he would not waste it studying new theory. He'd spend this time beating Magnus in a jiffy.
It's an interesting question to think about. I think Short was generally saying what Fischer said. That Morphy would have to spend time getting caught up on advancements in the game since he played and it would be a different story.
Thank you for these uploads about Paul Morphy. Love Morphys games. Morphy was obviously a very gifted man. Academically very strong as well.
Thank you. I'm hoping to finish the last two episodes this summer while I have extra time.
I remember Alexey Rudolph coming to Vancouver tournaments in the early eighties!
I have the twelve books: five red, four white and three blue.
this is great!
That was brilliant 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤
Thank you. I'm happy you liked it.
Was Nigel Short saying Morphy wasn't that great because only his best games are cherry picked to further the narative of his greatness? And to prove his point he selects one game where Morphy lost but fails to mention this was the only one Morphy lost to this guy out of 12???
MANY THANKS FOR THE UPLOAD ! FASCINATING AND ENLIGHTENING
Glad you enjoyed it
Very Informative Documentary Film On A Very Fine Ukrainian Sportsman - Chess GrandMaster Lev Alburt! Warmest Regards! Sandeep Ghosh.
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it.
Great video! When will Episode 4 be out?
Thanks. I'm hoping to get the last two episodes out in the next couple months.
Funny... she mentions her friend was Larry Tamarkin. I didn't know Larry, but I heard of him because I bought many of his old chess books. A good part of his library is now in my possession.
goooo adam! but the colle system noooooo thank you
You are both treasures of chess.
Thank you for watching. See you in Jeff City.
Is there another episode of the Morphy legacy still to come?
Yes, at least two. Hopefully I can finish the series on Christmas break.
