“Бой Хорнбакер-Мерфи“ / “The Hornbacker-Murphy Fight“ (1894)

This short boxing feature by the Edison Company catches a lot of action in a very brief running time, although the level of skill demonstrated by the two boxers is not particularly impressive. It’s certainly true that much of this is probably attributable to the styles of the time, but it is also the case that these were two nondescript athletes who would long ago have been forgotten if the Edison Company had not made this movie of them.
