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

Nice one, Lamotta deserves more credit for this then he gets. He clearly looked too strong for Cerdan even before the knockdown

 

lamotta was a beast

 

Injury related TKO's rarely get a fighter any credit, regardless of the time period.

 

Thanks SQ

 

Thanks for posting. I've always wanted to see more of this fight. I really like that short inside jab of LaMotta's, it sets him apart a bit technically, from guys like Fullmer, Tiger, and even Walker.
Good to see LaMotta getting some props for his skillset...He was incredibly tough, no doubt, but he was a well schooled fighter...and that very often gets overlooked.

 

Jake does look incredibly focused and strong here ,but you can see that after a couple of rounds Cerdan is only throwing his right hand ,you cant beat Lamotta with one arm.

 

Nobody else can see that it is a throw rather than a punch?

 

Yep it was a push/throw, no punch, no kd. I wonder how many KDs Suzie would score in Hamed's fights

 

Lamotta looked awfully good in that first round, and probably was winning that fight anyway, regardless of the injury Cerdan suffered. But that was a pretty clear throw-down, rather than a legit kd.
