Mate that sounds like pure insanity once you read the details. Absolutely brutal affair as were many of the era. To imagine that McVea would endure this, the mangled face and torn eyes, and then be allowed..even able..to fight again just ONE WEEK later . I think there is no doubt many greats and many matches are lost or suffer from "no video than it didn't happen" kind of mindset. You see it all the time with Harry Greb for one. It by no means is true and rather insulting but the early 1900's is a gold mine of history too often dismissed as near prehistoric. Damn shame really and OUR loss.
LaMotta was a tough SOB. Duran loved to fight.
