Primo Carnera: #18 Greatest HW of All Time

[Bill Paxtom]

'Il Facto Mundo'

October 20, 1933

Just 2-days before Primo was supposed to defend his Heavyweight Championship against
Spaniard - Paulino Uzcudon >

Primo was questioned about his conditioning, and lack of intensity, just after he went
'8' light Rounds with his '3' sparring-partners.

To shut up the Boxing Press, Primo donned his Robe and put back on his Boxing Gloves
and got back up in the Ring.

Primo then went 15-Rounds with his '3' different sparring-partners.
* Art Huddick
* Harold Mays
* Raul Bianchi

Then after he was done sparring, Primo hit the 'Heavy-Bag' for 15-Minutes straight without a break.

After that exhibition, Primo calmly walked back to the Press Area and sat in his chair, without
saying a word.

Then Primo had a large glass of Orange Juice and a 'Biscotti', and politely smiled at the Press and asked >

"Are there anymore questions."

Afterwards, it was overheard that Benito Mussolini commented on Primo's remarkable display of stamina.

"Primo, you magnificent bastard."
