		Jimmy had beaten some good fighters in gaining those belts, including Vic Toweel twice in a row, who was 26-0-1 at the time of their first bout.
		Jimmy Carruthers demanded the fight be a 12 round affair, rather than the usual 15 for a championship match and was granted a shorter fight.
		Carruthers was required to defend next against Frenchman Robert Cohen but terms could not be worked out to the satisfaction of the champion or his manager, Dr. Jim McGirr, who said, "We offered to have Jimmy fight the Frenchman but he seems to think he, not my Jimmy, is the champion.

	Amazon.com: Led Zeppelin: DVD: Robert Plant,Jimmy Page,John Paul Jones,John Bonham,Dick Carruthers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Carruthers recently told reporters that the DVD set is intended as a definitive statement of all that is fit for release, though that quality threshold was set very high by surviving Led Zeppelin members.
		The DVDs present the material in chronological order and the supplementary material consists of early European TV appearances on the first disc, and interviews and 1990-vintage promos on the second, including the only decent interview footage of the late John Bonham.
		I still retain my belief that Jimmy Page was a musical genius, really a great guitarist, and that John Bonham was a very intelligent drummer who mixed James Brown-influenced groove into Zep's music.

	SHARP POINTS: U.N.-Intelligent
		If your best friend in kindergarten was Jimmy Carruthers, you might have called him J.C. Or, heck, you might have been creative enough to bypass the initial route and come up with a cool-sounding diminutive, such as "Jimcar." But even at age 5 you'd know the difference between Jimcar and his initials.
		Show little Jimmy to the geniuses at the United Nations and they'd likely tag him with an "acronym" like JICARRUT.
		Yes, this is the organization that brought us UNSCOM and UNPROFOR.

		For me at that time, Marciano was Da Man. Then cricket took over.
