Might be the most brutal rounds in boxing history. I've seen the fight a couple of times, but I'm rewatching it on ESPN classic. My god how the hell did Jake Lamotta not go down?
Ray Robinson's handspeed is the best I've ever seen. Round 13 was the stoppage round, but 11 and 12 were ****ing vicious. Round 11 actually started off very good for Jake, but my god. I think Robinson hit him with like 20 unanswered punches. It was beautiful. It was vicious. It was sugar ray robinson.
What a legend man.

Definitely. Those are some of the most brutal rounds I've ever seen, LaMotta was taking almost every shot Robinson threw and still managed to stand up, unbelievable.

The way SRR put his punches together and found different angles against LaMotta was surreal.

Seriously, he'd throw like 2 left hooks to the body in a row then right away throw two more left hooks to the head while adding a right hand in there somewhere and then ending it with a hard jab.

LaMotta was doing a good job in the early rounds but later on it turned into a one-sided beating, a massacre indeed.
Robinson said the whole gameplan was to take LaMotta in the later rounds and let him punch himself out, Sugar Ray knew that LaMotta had big trouble making the weight.
So he kind of waited it out in the early rounds until starting to mercilessly unload punches on the tired LaMotta.

Here is the combination of punches that LaMotta tried to take Robinson out with, but Robinson managed to avoid most of them. After that it became one of the most one-sided, brutal beatings in boxing history.
