Glenroy Brothers (Comic Boxing) (1894)
As the title says, the Glenroy Brothers are in a ring throwing punches as a referee and a few other men watch. I'm going to guess that this short was staged as the camera is perfectly set up with the action right in the middle and everyone else pretty much stays in the background. Out of the countless films that were released during the 1890's, this one here has remained rather popular to film buffs and it's easy to see why. It only lasts about twenty-five seconds but the boxing action happens throughout without any stops, which is more than you can say for the sport today.
