Boxing Matches Fixed by the Mob? - 08/17/13 04:31 PM
I'll start...
Ali/Liston II in Lewiston, Maine. Liston was dropped by the famous anchor punch. He was managed by mobsters, Frankie Carbo and Blinky Palermo. Look at Liston struggling to get up- looks fake to me.
I've read that many of Primo Carnera's fights were fixed by the mob. Carnera/Sharkey II was Primo's best win, imo. Was it fixed, or was Carnera good enough to win the lineal heavyweight title?
