    Cerdan also wasn't exactly a one-armed fighter, he did use the left although perhaps not to its full extent.
    First off, due to Lamotta getting the better of the first half of the round, dosent mean he was murdering Cerdan. And if you didn't know, throwing/wrestling a fighter to the ground is a illegal tactic, but yet you seem to give Lamotta credit for doing it.

    I think there is some nuthugging going on here......

    Cerdan barley used his left arm, and when he did there was nothing behind his punchers, he was a one armed fighter for virtually the entire fight.

    It would of been a much more interesting fight if Cerdan had two arms instead of one.

    Who knows what would of happened....

      lamotta was teariing into cerdan tho n if u watch it he had him hurt thats y cerdan tried going into the clinch while jake punched/wrestled him to the floor. Jake beat plenty good fighters b4 dat. Tommy Bell, Holmann Williams, Fritzie Zivic, Bob Satterfield, n of course SRR, among plenty others. Ive found out they got footage of the bell fight, bout to get dat ****!

        To be fair Cerdan looked pretty good taking the title off Zale not long before the La Motta fight.
        Zale has never been a favourite of mine but he was a tough guy and Cerdan beat the granny out of him.
