LaMotta won the World Middleweight title on June 16, 1949, in Detroit, Michigan, defeating Frenchman Marcel Cerdan. [22] LaMotta won the first round (in which he knocked Cerdan down), Cerdan the second, and the third was even. At that point it became clear something was wrong.
The fight was another victory for Robinson who won the fight 6–4, 6-3 and 7–1. [10] The fifth fight was held on September 26, 1945, at Comiskey Park in Chicago. This would be the closest fight of the series, with LaMotta fighting aggressively to defeat his old rival.
