Loading ...that fought LaMotta and Marcel Cerdan ..He was living in Richmond ,he told me about fights when he was a “Club fighter” out of Philadelphia .He passed away several years ago .He fought under the name of Terry Young (not his real Name).He said Jake LaMotta was the toughest fighter ever!
He told me a story one time about a fight with Marcel Cerdan .The fight was in Canada and Cerdan was the”home boy” …MARTY (HIS REAL NAME)was supposed to take a dive but Cerdan came out with all he had and was pummeling Marty ..Marty told me I had enough of that shit and I knocked him on his ass. I knew I was in real trouble and I got out of there as fast as I could the MOB was gonna kill me I was supposed to take a dive…I never even stopped to get paid..I just got the hell out of there !
