Fullmer lands a top of the head to the face followed by a left elbow to the jaw.Giardello counters with a top of the butt to the right eye.Fullmer lands a chopping right to the back of the head.
Fullmer was a vicious bastard, but he asked no quarter, either. Actually, his brother Don was probably just as dirty a fighter: cracked open Nino Benvenuti's face in a couple of spots with his constant head-butting.
No when he beat Robinson it wasnt from the head butts. Robinson wouldnt get that close to him. Both of these guys beat Robinson. Granted he was well out of his prime though. In his prime neither woulda came close to beating him.
@lumpagogo hmmm...that's funny...I saw Joey use his head a few times in that fight too. Your bias is blinded by the facts. Fullmer was one of the greatest middleweights of all time. FACT
@sugarlanskee8 well seeing as I AM a Fullmer I'm going to have to politely disagree with you sir. He was a monster, a brawler, and a legend. And nothing you say can take that away from him.
Well actually they did work against (an admitedly oa bit over the hill ) sugar Ray. Sugar
Ray stopped his ass once with a perfectly timed left hook but the other two times he couldn't stay away from Gene...Everyone on this page is right Gene was a dirty bastard...he'd butt you, hit you low, if he got a guy down he'd hit him while he was on his knees...Gene didn't give a fuck about nuthin' except winning. Few things other than the legendary Sugar Ray left hook were ever able to stop him though
Fullmer Had More Energy than the eveready battery man and tough as nails. What a Machine.

I train at his gym, he's so punchdrunk he hardly ever talks. I guess it's karma?

The ref should have disqualified Fullmer for head butting. Boxers are taught to lead with their left, not their head.

Fullmer blatantly using his head. What a bastard. Those tricks didn't work against Sugar Ray Robinson.

Fullmer was the dirtiest, lowest class fighter of all time, got many gifts in Utah, including this outrage. Joey never got a re-match.

Have to agree with lump---this fight was a disgrace--as was Fullmer's entire, protected careeer. Only Ali had more ludicrous outcomes in his favor.
