Among the most ambitious films of the 19th century, The Corbett-Fitzsimmons Fight was a complete recording of the 14-round 1897 heavyweight championship fight between James J. Corbett and Bob Fitzsimmons in Carson City, Nevada. It was shot with a specially-designed "Veriscope" camera using 63mm widescreen film, a unique shooting and exhibition process controlled entirely by the intrepid pioneer Enoch Rector. Original presentations lasted for more than 100 minutes and included introductions and presentations of each 3-minute round, all accompanied by a live narrator. This extract, preserved by the Library of Congress, is all that remains.
