Found a couple generic labels 78s, thought they might be a low budget recording of some song but it turns out they are recordings of the radio broadcast for the 2nd Louis-Walcott fight in 1948, including the introduction and broadcast recording of rounds 1-6 (wish there had been round 11!). Here is the 2nd record with round 3,4,5, and part of round 6. This was recorded from a tape, probably the original radio transcription, as it is very good quality. I was really surprised to hear what ws on these records. Enjoy! Just a note, both records were recorded with the start from the inside out instead of the usual outside in. This is fairly normal for recordings meant for radio broadcast. Maybe these are transcriptions..???
