Old rival Jake LaMotta cannot cope with Sugar Ray Robinson this time, writes Sam Corbishley THE greatest ever, Sugar Ray Robinson, 30, was a 3-1 betting favourite going into the fight at the Chicago Stadium on February 14, 1951 against the 29-year old champion, Jake LaMotta, from the Bronx. THE 14,802 crowd that night produced a net gate of $138,938 – the champion LaMotta took 45 per ecent of this earning him $62,522 plus $1,500 from sales of television and radio rights, Sugar Ray’s 15 per cent share pocketed him $20,840 to go with his equal share of the television money. IN our preview, Boxing News stated that this was the one great advantage in LaMotta’s favour – the fact that he was the only man to have beaten Robinson as a professional. Were Sugar Ray to win, it was expected that he would relinquish his 10st 7lbs honours and concentrate on the middleweight division.
