Responsible for handing Sugar Ray Robinson his first professional loss, the Bronx Bull's granite chin and ferocious fighting style made him a threat in multiple weight classes. Early in 1952, though he would fall to the formidable Norman Hayes after ten see-saw rounds, a few short months later he would avenge that loss. From that battle come LaMotta's weapons of raging bullism -- his soft, supple, burgundy "Everlast" gloves, trimmed in tan leather and equipped with their original white laces. On the face of both gloves is a small area of tape residue beneath the brand taggings and printed on both inner wrists is "Jake LaMotta" in faded, though legible, black ink. Comes with 9 x 9 1/2" framed photo of LaMotta and Hayes at the weigh-in w/some staining on the glass, and a LOA from the son of former Boxing Commissioner.
