M An outlaw practice : boxing, governance and western law Abstract This investigation examines the uses of Western law to regulate and at times outlaw the sport of boxing. Drawing on a primary sample of two hundred and one reported judicial decisions canvassing the breadth of recognised legal categories, and an allied range fight lore supporting, opposing or critically reviewing the sport's development since the beginning of the nineteenth century, discernible evolutionary trends in Western law, language and modern sport are identified. Emphasis is placed on prominent intersections between public and private legal rules, their enforcement, paternalism and various evolutionary developments in fight culture in recorded English, New Zealand, United States, Australian and Canadian sources. Fower, governance and regulation are explored alongside pertinent ethical, literary and medical debates spanning two hundred years of Western boxing history. & Acknowledgements and Declaration This has been a very solitary endeavour.

  • 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.

Over the next decade, Carter gradually amassed convincing evidence of his innocence and the vocal support of celebrities from Bob Dylan to Muhammad Ali. He was freed in 1976 pending a new trial, but he lost his appeal -- to the amazement of many -- and landed back in prison.Carter, bereft, shunned almost all human contact until he received a letter from Lesra Martin, a teenager raised in a Brooklyn ghetto. Against his bitter instincts, Carter agreed to meet with Martin, thus taking the first step on a tortuous path back to the world. Martin introduced him to an enigmatic group of Canadians who helped wage a successful battle to free him. As Carter orchestrated this effort from his cell, he also embarked on a singular intellectual journey, which led ultimately to a freedom more profound than any that could be granted by a legal authority.

  • The Truth About Rubin "Hurricane" Carter
    www.AmericanAction.us [email protected] The Truth about Rubin "Hurricane" Carter Rubin “Hurricane” Carter and an accomplice were rightly convicted twice of murdering 3 people in cold blood in a bar in Paterson, New Jersey in 1966. He became a civil rights celebrity loudly proclaiming his innocence and in 1985, US District Court Judge H. Lee Sarokin set aside the second conviction on the grounds they did not receive a fair trial. The State of New Jersey appealed but in 1988, the charges were dismissed. In 1999 a movie about Carterʼs life, “The Hurricane” staring Denzel Washington, was released. This movie was a propaganda film, with many proven errors of fact. There are at least 3 books written about this case, including Carterʼs autobiography. The facts prove that Rubin Carter is a pathological liar, a sadistic sociopath and a cold blooded killer. On April 20, 2014, Rubin Carter died and faced God for eternal judgement. He had no lawyers present.

  • Case 6 in 1967 Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, Then a Strong Contender for the Middleweight Boxing Championship, Was Convicted with a Co-Defendant, Mr
    Case 6 In 1967 Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, then a strong contender for the middleweight boxing championship, was convicted with a co-defendant, Mr. John Artis, of murdering a bartender and two patrons in a sudden attack of gunfire on a tavern in Patterson, New Jersey. After a twenty year legal struggle, Mr. Carter and Mr. Artis had their convictions overturned. This struggle is the subject of a recent film entitled The Hurricane, starring Denzel Washington, and directed by Norman Jewison. At the trial of Mr. Carter and Mr. Artis in 1967 the prosecution introduced no motive. The only witnesses who testified for the prosecution were two petty criminals, who admitted to having committed a burglary near the scene of the crime, and claimed to see Mr. Carter and Mr. Artis emerge from the scene of the crime holding guns. Sentenced to life imprisonment, Mr. Carter undertook relentless efforts to overturn the conviction. In 1973 he was able to secure the help of a lawyer in the New Jersey Public Defender's Office and a free lance journalist, who continued the search for evidence. In 1974 the attorney, and a reporter for the New York Times tracked down the two petty criminals, who separately recanted their testimony, claiming they had been pressured into it by the prosecutors. Mr. Carter's case became an international cause celebre, with Bob Dylan writing and performing a song about it. The New Jersey Supreme Court overturned Mr. Carter's and Mr. Artis' convictions. After only ninety days of freedom, however, in 1976 the prosecution brought the case to trial again, this time contending that Mr.
