Trivia 3

[Master]

In the 40's, a boxer had retired and taken up a career as a trainer. Upon his catching one of his fighters out at a bar when he was supposed to be in training, an argument ensued, and his trainer hit him. The trainer then came out of retirement and took a fight against his (then-former) protege, and beat him. Name the fighters.

Wow what a great story, this would be the equivalent of Winky Wright coming out of retirement to beat Chad Dawson.

Sorry; I mistyped the original story. When they got into the argument, the boxer hit the trainer. That was what prompted the trainer to unretire.

Could it be Joe Barnum and Mario Trigo.

Barnum was Trigo's manager and trainer, and then made a comeback against him in January of 1949, winning a 10 round decision. Two years later, almost to the day, Trigo returned the favor. The circumstances between Barnum and Trigo was the basis of the movie "Killer Instinct."

Well done, Sir. Barnum & Trigo it was.
