I too was not able to find footage, i do know however in those days they didn't have a bronze metal fight, they simply just handed out two Bronze medals for the fighters who didn't win their simi final fights..Mr Lloyd who I believe was a welterweight shared his Bronze with a guy from Poland named Leszek Drogosz, as i'm sure you know, Casius Clay dominated the headlines for Olympic Boxing in 1960. I hope this helps a little. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxing_at_the_1960_Summer_Olympics
