    84 years ago? Where's Perry gone? He probably lived through that.

    First time I've ever actually seen Uzcudun in action.

    Wow thanks for sharing! Uzcudun is a bit crafty. Not unlike an older Archie Moore.

    Watching the desperation of Uzcudun trying to avoid Primos punches and land his own reminds me of many Klitschko fights.

    Especially Vitali vs. Briggs for some reason.
    You can sense the helplessness.

    There are a lot of comparisons between a klitschko and Carnera. The three of them were effective and I don't think it outrageous to say so.

    Except for the obvious...Vitali was alot tougher...no comparison, as a matter of fact, and he wasn't as upright as Primo...I guess it would be more accurate to say that he held his hands lower, leaned away from punches more than Primo...and seemed to have a better sense of distance...so I think a comparison to Carlos Monzon is more apt than to Primo.

    I don't know. Primo was tough too. Primo looks like the third Klitschko to me.
