    No idea about footage, but this is your specialised era Suzie,what do you think happened between ,the first and second Lastarza fights?
    Bucceroni ,by all accounts, had Roland in trouble in their first encounter, only to give a Frazier v Foreman impression in their second, and Roland was no Foreman as a banger,so enlighten us?
    PS Being a wrestler. Do you remember Lou Thesz?

    great footage! dan bucceroni looked like a tough handfull but he lost to heinz neuhaus and was never the same. Neuhaus went on to beat rex layne, draw with henry cooper then lose to ingo johansson within 4 years of beating dan bucceroni.
