Fights of Jake LaMotta Part 1/5

[mrbeanchannel]

Wow, it looks like LaMotta is getting owned, but he actually isnt. lol

[RapedByRepublicans]

But my god, he was tenacious and he had, arguably, the best 15 round stamina in the modern era.

[RapedByRepublicans]

If you've never seen such a one dimensional fighter (at the elite level) you've never seen vito antuefermo fight

[rockiesbandwagon]

[1SugarRayRobinson1]

Jake lamotta was an amazing boxer!

[mrharoldb]

my favourite fighter of all time. Followed closely by roberto duran

[Johnl1800]

"Nowadays he'd be taught to defend better than that"

Nowadays he wouldn't be taught nearly anything at all since the technical "skills" are pathetic and are probably at an all time low. Most of the footage is from when he was already on the downside. He certainly wasn't a slick defensive fighter but he wasn't nearly as bad defensively as most people seem to think he was. He used to slip and roll with a lot more punches than people gave him credit for and often played possum to lure guys in.

cant believe Cerdan fought for 10 rounds with a dislocated arm, i know this vid is about Jake but damn that Frenchman had some stones to stand toe to toe with Jake La Motta with one arm! cmon people that deserves some thumbs up

[BoxingPride]

God dam... Jake Lamotta was a little monster in that ring... FUCKING BEAST!

[ancience1923]

They should've worn different shorts than their opponent..

[lezzabo]

Nowadays he'd be taught to defend better than that, and with a chin like his + his punching power, he'd be fuckin difficult to beat!

[mrharoldb]

@lezzabo it wasn't that he wasn't taught to defend properly, he chose that style of sticking his head out, gaurd down low because he liked to take the punishment. If you read his autobiography you'll see how he suffered from severe self destructive behaviour, he enjoyed getting hit as he hated himself and believed he deserved the punishment. To be honest he did deserve it outside the ring he was a horrible person!

[LupoDuhWolf]

LAMOTTA ALL THE WAY!

[Lcowand1]

God Lamotta's hands were fluent. Four and Five punch Combinations with ease.

[Rigotto90]

I'm pretty sure they added the sound effects because television wasn't popular yet, so people listening to the fight on the radio had to know when they hit.

[Johnl1800]

@Rigotto90 "they added the sound effects because television wasn't popular yet, so people listening to the fight on the radio had to know when they hit."

Television was already popular and the added sound effects had nothing to do with radio as they didn't exist on the original broadcast. At some point the sound effects were added to the re-broadcast highlight reels as was the commentary heard on these highlights.

[jeremyliu122]

I could do without the SFX please...

[Chrisdrumz]

Why did it take a guy like Jake 10 rounds to beat a guy with one arm?

[MrKosta1989]

@Chrisdrumz "Jake, i gotta message from big Louie... Cerdan goes down in 10"

maybe thats why? :) i dunno... i watched raging bull 2 many times maybe

[13Doses]

Im just wondering, when people talk about 'chins' do they relate it to weight classes? I mean Jake is one of my all time faves, but what if he got hit by a heavyweight? A Tyson, Tua, Marciano for example

[genabet123]

Where is the defense and guard them days ???

[jariemonah]

@genabet123 La Motta's known for being easy to hit, so he's a bad example for defense. lol.

[johnosandra]

4.56 fuckin perfect left hook combination

[ro666in]

Lol @ sound effects..

[bozez1]

@ro666in I'm going to talk like this anouncer all day today.

[thotkrime]

I like how they add the sound effects in the old fights.

[LPCLASSICAL]

Hmmm - the count in the Dauthille KO seemed very fast to me - I think Dathille was up in 8.

[MrBburns1985]

Was that billy Corgan @ 1:35 sec?

[skeptic91]

?? I didn't see anyone at that time of the video resembling him...

[MrBburns1985]

Wow its nice to see a video of this quality, After seeing "raging  Bull" It Really puts the movie in perspective.

[thotkrime]

The first one was a freakin slug fest

[KeepRockin55]

My grandpa was really into the fights back in the day in Detroit... it's ringing in my ears... "he's a buuuum..."
