    Has anyone seen this world title fight? Uzcudun is one of my favorite guys to watch. He had a style all his own, and gave great effort.

    I was wondering about this fight myself.....I haven't seen it...can't find it but I'd love to watch it as Primo is a fighter I liked.This was his first title defense in Italy right?Must be hard to find outside of Italy.

    How many of Uzcudun's fights were filmed, out of curiosity?

    I have seen highlights of his fights against: Max Schmeling 1, Harry Wills, Joe Louis and Primo Carnera 1 + 2. The second Carnera fight should exist in full, but I have enver been able to find it.

    I have seen what you have. A pity the only film on Wills is the Uzcudun match.

    Pity for Wills ... it allows the quote Dempsey made, that he always excelled against big, slow guys stand ... if footage of a prime Wills dominating a still deadly Sam Langford were around, Dempsey would be looked at very differently ... I love Dempsey but there will always be an askerik next to his name to me for ducking Harry ... it was inexcusable and terrible.

    By all accounts, Carnera dominated in a dull lackluster fight.

    Then Mussoulini confiscated both men's purses.
