    Knowing. These two were hometown products; Fullmer never lost a fight in Utah. Basilio rarely lost in NY state.

  • Carmen was tough and durable. He was over the hill by the time of His fights with Gene Fullmer and Paul Pender

  • @trainof what about the right hand at 9:59 those shots would knock out a horse! basillio was tough as nails

  • winning fight of the year 5 times in a row is simply amazing!!!

  • basilio was good but fullmer was better and you don't really hear about him in boxing history

  • the punch at 6:18 is insane. I can't believe  Basilio was still standing.

  • Basilio is an underrated fighter, from an historical perspective. For my money, he's one of the all-time greats. Welterweight and middleweight champ who fought all the best fighters at a time when both of those divisions were absolutely loaded. He was a terrific fighter.

  • Go Basilio! Go! GO!

  • Boy, no kidding, Fullmer used his head A LOT!!!

  • Fullmer ran from the smaller, weaker man. Most of the time he simply won by crowding and headbutting.
