While it would not be altogether truthful to state that his emphatic victory over Tiberio Mitri of Italy conjured
up nostalgic memories of] Ketchel, Papke, Walker and Greb, the fact must be ac-
cepted that the Bronx bull turned in an impressive performance, |
Just how much this was due to his young opponent's inepitude, which was considerable, and how much to LaMotta's skills, will] have to remain a conjecture. But| it is sufficient to say that the! most unpopular fist fighter the big town has known in years did! all that was asked of him. Even more. He took such complete charge of the overseas visitor] that as early as the eighth round’ there was no doubt at all as to what the decision had to be. Only one possible question remained: Could LaMotta stop him? ” " » AS IT DEVELOPED the champion, making his first defense of the title he won from the illstarred Marcel Cerdan of France last June, couldn't. at the finish LaMotta barely had enough stamina left for the three remaining minutes and Mitri was credited with one of the few rounds he was able to win throughout the 15.
Some 16,000 addicts paid to see the indoor fight on a stuffy, hot night, a surprisingly large turnout in view of the fact that the fighters — particularly LaMotta— were wickedly lampooned in the metropolitan press. Just before the fighters were due in the ring a roar of applause swept over the Garden. For a moment this was a puzzler. It developed the applause was for a comely, shapely blonde who was being ushered to a ringside seat—Mrs., Jake LaMotta. » ” ” MITRI, first in the. ring, re-| ceived deafening cheers. Some seconds later LaMotta’s appearance was greeted with a tornado of boos and cat calls. No other fighter in my time cver received such a blast of verbal contempt. “Well, anyway, they keep it in the family,” commented a press row philosopher. “Cheers for the dame, boos for the old man.” This was a grimly serious La-| Motta, clearly in tip top shape at | 159. Only a mind reader could have told what he was thinking of as he did a crazy little aimless Jig in his corner while torrents of abuse broke about his ears. You could not tell by looking at his battered features, If he experienced any emotion—anger, resentment, hatred—he failed to show it. ”» ~ » BUT ONCE the gong sounded and he went to work you were quick to sense that this was a LaMotta who was determined to turn the boos to cheers. Eearlier he had complained: “I don't give em my best.” But there were not | many who would agree. More than | once LaMotta had failed to live up to expectations. And on one | occasion—the Billy Fox thing in | which he was stopped in four—he | had been accused of fakery.
Even when he won the title from Cerdan, a popular and com-) petent fighter, he was not accepted in the big town. Cerdan had injured his left shoulder in the first round and thereafter had

Jake Pastes Mitri Easily But Still Is Unpopular
~NEW YORK, July 13—In retaining his championship last night in the Garden playground Jake LaMotta was forced to relinquish his singular distinction of being the

{been restricted to a one handed joffense. The handicap was to prove too great and at the end of the tenth Cerdan had sat in this corner and heard LaMotta proclaimed the winner and new champion. This exploit, however, jwas written off as a victory without honor, » =» = WITH Gov. Tom Dewey and {other notables at the ringside in! ithe sweltering. hall, LaMotta, a:
glint in his eyes, the lines of his;}| ;
Jaws frozen in determination, went after the idol of Trieste {without delay. It was soon. evident that he was not only in the] mood to make a fight of it but that he had much the superior | equipment. As it turned out all} he needed to win was his Jett. Had it been necessary he could have won on jabs alone. As early as the fifth Mitri was cut under both eyes and bleeding.
[This was the strange, unpredict-
able LaMotta at his best—the LaMotta who had once been good! enough to beat the stylish Ray Robinson. It was a delight to see him score with a double left—a
{hock to the body and a hook: to
the head, all in one swift, con-| tinuous motion. This was something Mitri had never seen before! —and it was something few of us who have been viewing LaMotta with jaundiced eyes had not seen very often, either, # = o ' THERE were times when LaMotta’'s ceaseless attack—nota-| bly in the seventh and the eighth when he had his opponent staggering—brought the crowd to its feet. Last night LaMotta had everything but a knockout punch. |
jOtherwise the fight would have ended midway. At the end the
crowd that had come to bury La-| Motta remained to praise him. And as Harry Markson, the Garden's tub beater, counted the house, he observed: “Such unpopularity must be preserved.” It will be. At least until La-! Motta makes his next defense, which, perhaps unfortunately for new charm boy, will be against Robinson.
