Jack JOHNSON vs Tommy BURNS | The Galveston Giant Becomes First Black Heavyweight Champion (HQ)

,
the #1 network for Dailymotioners:
Jack Johnson stops Tommy Burns for the Heavyweight Championship on December 26, 1908 to become the first black world heavyweight boxing champion. The late, great comedian Bill Hicks once quipped that the first Gulf War was not actually a “war.” Instead, it was little more than a military exercise for the U.S. with the outcome never in doubt. Jack London made a similar statement about the fight for the world’s heavyweight crown that took place on December 26, 1908, in Sydney, Australia, in which, for the first time in history, a black man had the chance to become heavyweight champion of the world. That day Jack Johnson systematically dismantled Canadian Tommy Burns, forcing London — a pro-Burns observer — into admitting that ‘fight’ was a misnomer for the event; ‘slaughter’ was the more fitting description.
