Larry Gaines won this fight. He beat two future world champions in Max Schmelling, 2nd round knockout, and the descision over Primo Carnera. When Schmelling was champ, Gaines was on a big winning streak, but probably because of the color barrier, never got his deserved shot at the time. He was however, as announced, Heavyweight champ of the British Empire, and for a while the Colored heavyweight champion.
I know his hands were about the biggest in heavyweight history, but what the hell was he wearing against Gaines? The first 2-lb gloves in boxing? Looks like the Canadian's people were scared of his power, signing a contract that he had to wear pillowcases. Ironic, since Primo was no puncher.
yes but if you actually analize what you said: "Looks like the Canadian's people were scared of his power, signing a contract that he had to wear pillowcases." it means you were questioning the dirigence whilst you were actually accusing gains and the canadians of having done all that. next time please learn how to write properly. in english. and in full sentences.
much thanks for posting this historical clip, very interesting.
