    Robinson never stunned LaMotta, that was just exhaustion.

    on the temple and his right leg dipped and his legs wobbled. He sort of had to shake it off and regroup, but he did it quickly.. He rubbed at the area a second after he was hit there.

    He clearly hurt him to the body. I think it was the body shots that finished him off as much as exhaustion. But, no, he didn't crack LaMotta's chin.

    Agreed, Carmen would have been too strong, too resilient, altogether too much fighter for Hearns, I see Hearns being broken and worn down by Basilios body attack somewhere around 12/13 in a 15 rounder. keep well.
