With his turbulent life story adapted into the 1980 Martin Scorsese film Raging Bull, nominated for eight Academy Awards, Jake LaMotta famously battled Sugar Ray Robinson six times, winning only a single bout. This modern photo of a classic image hails from the Feb 14, 1951 match vs Robinson, and it has been signed by LaMotta and set into a framed display. At 16" x 20", the image pictures Robinson being led into his corner by the referee at the conclusion of the fight, with LaMotta signing in silver marker, adding "Raging Bull" along with "Ray, I never went down". Double-matted, a stats plaque has been placed beneath, framed to approx 25" x 33". LaMotta passed away in 2017 at the age of 95. An LOA will accompany.
