The Fighter - Boxing poster inspiration

I think the idea of basing a 'new' poster design on vintage boxing posters is quite a common idea now, but I have mainly looked at them for the way that they use different type in terms of weight etc. and how most of the type is uppercase.
I don't want to just copy one of the layouts and replace the type with the quote I have chosen but I like the vintage textures, colours and typefaces used.

The last poster is actually of a typeface made out of boxing equipment by Will Haywood, its not particularly legible so it would be very appropriate for a film poster but it is a nice example of creative typography!
