Boxers of the 1940S in This Program, We Will Explore the Charismatic World of Boxing in the 1940S
Men’s Programs – Discussion Boxers of the 1940s In this program, we will explore the charismatic world of boxing in the 1940s. Read about the top fighters of the era, their rivalries, and key bouts, and discuss the history and cultural significance of the sport. Preparation & How-To’s • Print photos of boxers of the 1940s for participants to view or display them on a TV screen. • Print a large-print copy of this discussion activity for participants to follow along with and take with them for further study. • Read the article aloud and encourage participants to ask questions. • Use Discussion Starters to encourage conversation about this topic. • Read the Boxing Trivia Q & A and solicit answers from participants. Boxers of the 1940s Introduction The 1940s were a unique heyday for the sport of boxing, with some iconic boxing greats, momentous bouts, charismatic rivalries, and the introduction of televised matches. There was also a slowdown in boxing during this time due to the effects of World War II. History Humans have fought each other with their fists since the dawn of time, and boxing as a sport has been around nearly as long. Boxing, where two people participate in hand-to-hand combat for sport, began at least several thousand years ago in the ancient Near East. A relief from Sumeria (present-day Iraq) from the third millennium BC shows two facing figures with fists striking each other’s jaws. This is the earliest known depiction of boxing. Similar reliefs and paintings have also been found from the third and second millennium onward elsewhere in the ancient Middle East and Egypt.

Sugar Ray Robinson
SPORTING LEGENDS: SUGAR RAY ROBINSON SPORT: BOXING COMPETITIVE ERA: 1940 - 1965 Walker Smith Jr. (May 3, 1921 - April 12, 1989), better known in the boxing world as Sugar Ray Robinson, was a boxer who was a native of Detroit, Michigan. Robinson is the holder of many boxing records, including the one for the most times being a champion in a division, when he won the world Middleweight division title 5 times. He also won the world Welterweight title once. Robinson is regarded by many boxing fans and critics as the best boxer of all time. His supporters argue that while Muhammad Ali did more for the sport on a social scale, Robinson had a better style. Ali has said without hesitation many times that he feels that Robinson is the greatest fighter of all time, Ali simply considers himself to be the greatest Heavyweight Champion. During the 1940s and 1950s, Robinson appeared several times on the cover of Ring Magazine, and he joined the Army for some time. Robinson made his debut in 1940, knocking out Joe Eschevarria in 2 rounds. He built a record of 40 wins and 0 losses before facing Jake LaMotta, in a 10 round bout. The bout, which was portrayed in the Hollywood movie Raging Bull (which was based on LaMotta's life), was the second of six fights between these opponents, and LaMotta dropped Robinson, eventually beating him by decision. Robinson had won their first bout and would go on to win the next four. Between his debut fight and the second LaMotta bout, Robinson had also beaten former world champions Sammy Angott, Fritzie Zivic and Marty Servo.

VOL. 122 - NO. 1 BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, JANUARY 5, 2018 $.35 A COPY Boston Rings in the New Year! News Briefs by Sal Giarratani Newsweek Said What? You know, I didn’t even know that Newsweek Magazine was around anymore. Who still reads it? They stopped doing a print version on newsstands and the only way to read it is online. Which I don’t! Recently, its December 24th issue headlined how Trump and the Nazis have stolen Christmas from the rest of us. WHAT? I guess saying “Merry Christmas” is now a sign that one is a white supremacist. The Alt-Left Liberal Crowd needs to get a life. Meanwhile, Over at Vanity Fair Seems recently the quite liberal Vanity Fair did a piece mocking Hillary Clinton and liberals went bonkers over it. Apparently some liberals are quite intolerant and pretty illiberal when it comes to any kind of criticism of poor Hillary, their winner of the 2016 presidential election. Stop Using Chicago as Face of Urban America President Trump loves using the City of Chicago to blame liberals for running American cities with their useless policies. Chicago, or at least a good chunk of it, is horribly crime-ridden and deserves the title Murder Capitol U.S.A. However, over the past year, the Chicago Police Department has been working diligently to lower crime. The previous two years were quite terrible when it came to the murder rate. Things have turned around a bit. Overall, crime was down in ’17 from 2015-2016. Murders have dropped by 14 percent.

Rocky Graziano Name: Rocky Graziano Career Record: click Alias: The Rock Birth Name: Thomas Rocco Barbella Nationality: US American Birthplace: New York, NY, USA Hometown: New York, NY, USA Born: 1922-06-07 Died: 1990-05-22 Age at Death: 67 Stance: Orthodox Height: 5' 7 Division: Middleweight Trainer: Whitey Bimstein, Al Silvani Managers: Irving Cohen, Jack Hurle A product of New York City's tough Lower East Side, Graziano was continually in trouble during his teen-age years. Drafted into the Army early in 1942, he soon went absent without leave and took the ring name of a friend, Tommy Rocky Graziano, to become a professional fighter. He had eight fights in less than three months before the Army caught him. He was given a dishonorable discharge and sentenced to a year in military prison, where he joined the boxing team. Released in June of 1943, he again became a professional boxer, still using his ring name. A non-stop street fighter, Graziano had three historic bouts with Tony Zale. In the first, a middleweight championship fight on September 27, 1946, Zale seemed on the verge of collapse under Graziano's pounding, but he suddenly scored a 6th-round knockout to hold onto the title. Though he was popular with fight fans because of his style, Graziano was not so popular with boxing officials. The New York State Athletic Commission suspended his license in 1947 for allegedly failing to report a bribe attempt, so a rematch with Zale was moved to Chicago Stadium. The $422,918 gate was a record for an indoor fight.

PRESENTS CANCELED!By Don Stradley t’s about time to comment on the cancelation of the Gennady Golvkin - Saul Alvarez rematch, a bout that fell through when Alvarez, having failed two tests for the banned substance clenbuterol, decided to make different plans for Cinco De Mayo. Regrettably for Alvarez, he can pass hair follicle tests until he looks like Bennie Briscoe, but the company line that his initial results came from eat- I ing tainted Mexican beef will probably be questioned for the rest of his career. (left to right) Gerry Cooney’s frequent cancelations created a wall of cynism between him and the press.

Thomas Heans vs. Marvelous Marvin Hagler was supposed to take place in 1982, until Hearns canceled it with a “sprained his pinky.” A suspicious cancelation has a way of altering our perception of a fighter. It’s not on par with quitting in a fight, but it carries its own unique stench that can take years to air out. Generally, it’s a poor public relations move. eavyweight contender Gerry Cooney turned cident didn’t hurt Hearns’ career, but he spent a few years cancelations into an annual event.
