Rare Cerdan-Lamotta Footage of Early Rounds...Cerdan floored by left hook in round 1

Lamotta scored an OFFICIAL knockdown over marcel cerdan with a left hook. Its in the record books as cerdan being down in first from left hook. if u look closely lamotta doesnt throw cerdan down, after landing a torrent of blows with cerdan in a fog, lamotta lands a left hook to cerdans liver that hurts cerdan and sends him toppling over to canvas.

Of course PowerPuncher will never give jake lamotta credit, hes way too into that black dynamite ****. lamotta beats the **** out cerdan before the injury. its clear on film.

 

lamotta in the record books is credited with flooring cerdan with a left hook in the first round.

 

Cerdan look very buzzed to me. even if lamotta didnt land that left to the liver or that "toss" like u claim, cerdan was going down anyway

 

The only one who did pushing was the typewriter who saved dempsey behind by pushing him back into the ring. JimmyShimmy are you now trying to claim the knockdown out of the ring was not a knockdown? whats next, dempsey was also not floored in the first 5 seconds of the fight when Talentless Firpo nailed him with a right hand? Dempsey was down THREE times in that fight. One in the first 5 seconds from a right sends dempsey to a knee, the 2nd a firpo right nails dempsey dempsey's glove touches, and 3rd firpo knocks dempsey out of the ring and a typewriter has to push dempsey back in and save him from knockout. Deal with it.

Coming from a man who rates Billy Miske and Tommy Gibbons on Joe Jeanette, Harry Wills, and Sam Mcvea level...I could same the same about yourself.

Well a big Cerdan fan like yourself probably will never watch this film again, because you realize the truth was lamotta beat the **** out of cerdan and had him reeling all over the ring in the first round. Cerdan was buzzed out of his mind when he went down in that clip.

 

Maybe so, but dempsey was already out on his feet from thetorrents of rights and lefts before, it didnt take a heck of a push to throw him outta that ring.

I just happen to think Lamotta gets no respect for this win, and I hope that will change.

I think I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Wanna go out for a drink? lol

 

Nardico was viewed as a big puncher at 175lb by boxing experts at the time described in papers. lamotta was pretty much finished by the time of the fight including a good 15lb above his natural weight class. these were all contributing factors. I have never seen the KD, perhaps you could upload it. I still think Jake Lamotta has the greatest chin of all time.
