The hurricane rubin carter

[boomboomminter]

Carter was not a technical boxer, he had no real jab to talk of, but had lightening hand speed and a heavy punch. He was a bit of a one trick pony though. He was also never the fittest of fighters and a bit too musclebound to have any great stamina. So against a technically good fighter who could get inside his shots, he had nothing to offer. He fought from a crouch and delivered single shots mainly. Avoid these, tire him out, and build a big lead on a jab and he was in big trouble - unless he got lucky. If he'd been a heavyweight, he'd have done very well, particuarly against bigger lumbering men who'd be perfect targets for his bombs!!

The movie was both fictional and very well made. I don't even consider it a boxing movie.

The ring announcer (Johnny Addie) does a horrific job of reading the scores for the Benton fight. In a split decision, he reads the minority scorecard LAST. He didn't have much of a sense of drama

lol i dare say the film embelished the truth a little bit, but hey thats hollywood and what can you expect.

If you look in to the story in depth you will see that there is no way carter should have been convicted of murder though. there are so many glaring ommissions and corruption in that case that it shoudnt of even made it through the preliminary legal stages.

Rubin Carter's story is a great one and i'd recommend the film to you lot. i might even watch it now coz im bored out me skull lol.

Explain further please.

There were some blacks in the jury, it wasn't all white.

Carter's career as a contender was over when he went to prison.

The crowd did not boo Giardello when he got the decision.

He didn't go to juvenile hall for protecting himself against a pedophile. He was in and out or reform school for repeated muggings.

I noticed that a lot of announcers in older years often ****ed up the drama and suspense by doing this.
