was this fight ever filmed???

Was this the Madsion SquareGarden fight LaMotta threw? That one was filmed. I saw it.

 

This was the one where LaMotta destroyed Janiro because his wife said he was good looking.

Wife: "He's good looking, he's up and coming"

Jake: "What do you mean by that?"

 

LaMotta threw the Billy Fox fight.

 

Ah yes. That was the one I was thinking of. I saw that fight. No doubt it was a fix. Jake just isn't doing much. He had to throw the fight to get a title shot. Boxing was very shady in the 1950's and the IBC days.

 

You saw it live? Because that fight doesnt exist on film...

 

This fight doesn`t exist on film shommel. The 5th Robinson/LaMotta fight does however, I`ve got just under one minute of that footage.

 

Really? You're the man to help me with this one RB, got a query here. Ages ago i saw this thing on the internet somewhere, it was Robinson Lamotta 4, it was for sale, looked like a video, but thats not filmed is it? Maybe i was a book, it was years ago. (or maybe i got my roman numerals mixed up?! IV VI, i was young like!)

 

teeto,

I never seen this fight (#5) listed anywhere on the net, and knowing my source he would have never posted it online anyways. Took me forever to get this snippet of footage, but it was worth the wait as the footage is crystal clear and shows LaMotta giving Ray a good going over against the ropes in one of the later rounds. I hope to get the full fight someday, but for now I`m more than happy with what I`ve got. And before anyone asks I can`t trade this HL... gave my word that I`d keep it to myself and I have to honour that.

 

What the hell are you talking about???? keeping it to yourself??? I have the entire rounds 5,7,8,11 on tape. Would you like a copy????

 

I would certainly love to have one.

Woller

RB- sounds great

Flamengo, sounds great!

 

Did you get the footage from Steve Lott? Besides my source he is the only other person to my knowledge who would have this film, and I remember you mentioning in an old thread that you had dealt with him several years back when you contacted him in your search for some Young Griffo footage. Check your pms flamengo as I have some things to disscuss with you.
