Joey DeJohn is related to John DeJohn, a great trainer who trained my hero, the best welterweight of his time, a resident on my city of Rochester, NY, and conqueror of Sugar Ray Robinson, Carmen Basilio.
@corytclark iT AINT a good thing! lol not alotta other fighters fight in this way, but coz laMotta was so tough, you see, thas why they call him the raging/bronx bull!
@HSJ90 ---is this the fight where jake teed off on the guy, because his wife said the guy was kind of good looking? (at least that was the line in the movie)
@loyaldude10 that was tony janero. member everyone said he was good lookin, even jake cracked that joke about "i gotta problem coz i dunno weather ta fuck im or fight im." to tommy como. well, like you said, in the movie. i aint read the book. but i do member the one with the rep for bein "good lookin" was "that janero kid"

Jake LaMotta fought like a honey badger. He didn't give a shit.

I have been looking for this fight. It took place at the coliseum at the nys fairgrounds. Nobody even knows they had fights there. Amazing. Thanks!

Jake moved towards every punch. He didn't have a granite chin for nothing! One of the toughest.

This is a fantastic find! Notice how Jake is working counter clockwise to stay away from DeJohn's loaded right punch!

Nice footage of the pre-championship LaMotta. Excellent post. Jakes's effective jab and defensive skills tend to be underrated. Great fighter.
