Talk:Tom Sharkey

Untitled
The Nov. 3, 1899 heavyweight boxing match in Coney Island between Tom Sharkey and Jim Jeffries was not "the first championship fight filmed for motion pictures."

The March 17, 1897 heavyweight championship in Carson City, Nevada between Bob Fitzsimmons and James J. Corbett was filmed and is considered the first championship fight filmed for motion pictures. Clips of the film still exist today and have been shown to audiences.

Good Photo of Sharkey
There are two nice photos of Sharkey at the Library of Congress if anyone is interested. No sourcing problems, I used it myself for Jimmy Wilde, if you want to copy the style. Just a heads up, for those interested. http://lcweb2.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/I?ils:44:./temp/~pp_I9No::displayType=1:m856sd=ggbain:m856sf=04810:@@@ Cheers, FruitMonkey (talk) 22:16, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
