CARMEN BASILIO DAY WHEREAS, We gather here today to honor the life and accomplishments of Carmen Basilio and to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of his victory bout against Sugar Ray Robinson at Yankee Stadium on September 23, 1957 allowing him to win the middleweight boxing championship of the world; and WHEREAS, Mr. Basilio, a native of Canastota, New York, has earned the respect and admiration of boxing fans all over the nation and world because of his competitive character and dedication of mind and spirit to the discipline of boxing, achieving two division championships, welterweight and middleweight, and also receiving two “Fighter of the Year” honors in 1955 and 1957 from the Boxing Writers Association of America; and WHEREAS, It is that same character and hometown spirit that inspired him to found, with the help of fellow citizens, the International Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota, New York in 1982, allowing the town and all boxing fans around the world, for the first time, to showcase the achievements of boxing legends such as Muhammad Ali, Rocky Graziano, Jake LaMotta, Floyd Patterson and many others including Carmen Basilio in 1990; and WHEREAS, Carmen Basilio, one of the most popular boxers of his era, is a living testament, inspiration and role model for all those who aspire to be the best and dare to attain excellence.

Robert De Niro's Raging Bull
003.TAIT_20.1_TAIT 11-05-12 9:17 AM Page 20 R. COLIN TAIT ROBERT DE NIRO’S RAGING BULL: THE HISTORY OF A PERFORMANCE AND A PERFORMANCE OF HISTORY Résumé: Cet article fait une utilisation des archives de Robert De Niro, récemment acquises par le Harry Ransom Center, pour fournir une analyse théorique et histo- rique de la contribution singulière de l’acteur au film Raging Bull (Martin Scorcese, 1980). En utilisant les notes considérables de De Niro, cet article désire montrer que le travail de cheminement du comédien s’est étendu de la pré à la postproduction, ce qui est particulièrement bien démontré par la contribution significative mais non mentionnée au générique, de l’acteur au scénario. La performance de De Niro brouille les frontières des classes de l’auteur, de la « star » et du travail de collabo- ration et permet de faire un portrait plus nuancé du travail de réalisation d’un film. Cet article dresse le catalogue du processus, durant près de six ans, entrepris par le comédien pour jouer le rôle du boxeur Jacke LaMotta : De la phase d’écriture du scénario à sa victoire aux Oscars, en passant par l’entrainement d’un an à la boxe et par la prise de soixante livres. Enfin, en se fondant sur des données concrètes qui sont restées jusqu’à maintenant inaccessibles, en raison de la modestie et du désir du comédien de conserver sa vie privée, cet article apporte une nouvelle perspective pour considérer la contribution importante de De Niro à l’histoire américaine du jeu d’acteur.

Over 50 fights be a Championship shot, avoided, under paid left him with contempt and bile for Pretty boys and Superstars.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. No Interaction with SubjectBy Michael W. Mc ManusMost info is from newspaper or secondary sources. Story is unimaginative but complete. Not a lot about how Marvelous Marvin is doing right now in Italy.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Good effortBy ihaschThis is a good, solid biography of my favorite boxer of all time. Hagler is a fighter whose stature grows with time. You look back on his career, on the tough road he had to the title, on the honest way he fought. The man was probably the last of his kind. As others have noted, Hagler himself does not participate (maybe we will see an autobiography some day) but the book is well sourced and well written.

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.
