It's a very true statement. IMO. I've heard as much. Just remember Fammo was (unbeknownst to himself) sparring with Harada's brother, prior to the second encounter. In the evening, following Fammo being aware of who he'd been sparring, a lady was sent to Fammo's hotel room.. (for some fun G.I.....!) Fammo's words .. QUOTE "Who are you, Harada's sister??
Carlos Monzon: Chain smoker, violent husband, womaniser, small time actor and murderer, and who just happened to be perhaps the greatest middleweight that ever graced the planet! Here's ugly snipets c/o wickopaedia: In 1973, Monzón was shot in the leg by his wife, requiring 7 hours of surgery to remove the bullet. In 1975, he began a very publicized romance with the famous actress and vedette Susana Giménez; they had previously met in the 1974 thriller La Mary, directed by Daniel Tinayre, where the two played husband and wife. Monzón hated paparazzi who detailed his affairs. He went to Italy with Giménez to participate in a movie, and started increasingly traveling with her to locations in Brazil and the rest of Latin America, letting himself be seen with her, though still married. Soon the beatings he gave his wife became public knowledge. Monzón was detained by the police repeatedly. Giménez also began wearing sunglasses more often, presumably to hide her bruises, and many times, paparazzi had to be hospitalized from the beatings suffered at the hands of Monzón, who had unpredictable violent outbreaks. During this period, Monzón divorced his wife, and later re-married another Argentine woman. Monzón retired after this defense and kept a low public profile through most of the late 1970s and the 1980s. Susana Giménez left him in 1980. After the breakup, Monzón's private life was finally closed to the public, but the beatings continued, this time with his second wife, Alicia Muñiz. In 1988, he allegedly beat Muñiz so many times that she, scared and bloody, ran to the balcony of their second floor apartment. According to the investigation performed later, he followed her there, grabbed her by the neck, and then picked her up and pushed her off the balcony, to her death, after which he followed her in the fall injuring a shoulder. In 1995, he was given a weekend furlough to visit his family and kids, and upon returning to jail after the weekend, he crashed near the jail building, dying instantly. There have been rumors that he committed suicide by crashing the car, but there has been no evidence found that supports that claim.
Mundine gave a very gutty performance. http://www.amazon.com/Joe-Gans-Biog...bs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1240679725&sr=8-1
