The hugely popular and wonderfully charismatic 25-year-old American Max Baer savagely dethroned world heavyweight champion Primo Carnera #OnThisDay in 1934. With a cheeky grin and dynamite right hand, Baer took apart the huge but helpless Italian in the 11th of the scheduled 15 rounds in front of a roaring crowd of 52,000 at Madison Square Garden's Long Island bowl. Carnera was down no less than 11 times before referee Arthur Donovan ended the one-sided affair thus returning the crown to the States atop of the exciting curly-haired Californian. The brave, but dizzied former champion, trying to comprehend what happened, ambled from the ring amid jeers that he'd thrown the fight. "I no lay down," Primo said "I fight good fight and he fight good fight, too." While a cheering crowd gathered outside the new champion's dressing room and his handlers jigged around with joy, Baer calmly rose from a dressing room table and said: "Somebody bring the new champion a bottle of beer." The great former champion Gene Tunney commented from ringside: "Baer fought a perfect fight, proving himself a terrific hitter. He did not waste time and energy trying to box Carnera." #boxing #BoxingNews #CarneraBaer #MaxBaer #PrimoCarnera (at Madison Square Garden Bowl)

👊 🥊 🤜 🥊 “Ho preso tanti pugni nella mia vita, veramente tanti... ma lo rifarei perché tutti i pugni che ho preso sono serviti a far studiare i miei figli.” #PrimoCarnera Un ricordo del mitico Primo Carnera a 113 anni dalla nascita! Soprannominato "La Montagna che cammina", o affettuosamente "il Gigante buono", per la sua incredibile stazza, fu Campione del mondo dei pesi massimi nel 1933, e fu il primo italiano a vincere un titolo mondiale di pugilato. Figura indimenticabile, esempio di dignità e riscatto, fece conoscere all'estero, di che pasta erano fatti gli italiani!
