		Carnera will be remembered at two of this year's major domestic boxing events, a Milan night for up-and-coming talent and a Rome world title bout for cruiserweight Vincenzo Cantatore.
		Carnera was a 2.02 metre immigrant who got into the fight game to support his two children in the Depression years and rose to wrest the greatest crown of all from the fearsome Jack Sharkey in June 1933.
		Nicknamed the Ambling Alp, Carnera had an unfair reputation as a lumbering pugilist with massive strength, few skills and a shortlived career.

	Boxing: The Tall Man and The Human Octopus: Comparing Two Boxing Pariahs
		Carnera was considered a freak show by many and derided for his lack of technique, but the most damaging claims centered on the alleged fixing that accompanied many of his fights.
		Maybe we should factor in that Primo fought often against less than stellar opponents and he fought all over the world, fixing these fights would be a logistical nightmare unless Carnera packed a travel gangster in his luggage.
		Primo probably did have one or two fixed fights, but the rest were typical of boxing matchmaking through out the ages, you line up the weak chinned fighters who lose more than they win and your guy KO's them.

		Carnera is huge, and the cameraman gets a great shot of him, as he gradually pans up from his feet to his head, like a clip I once saw of Andre the Giant.
		Carnera enters and uses his boot to choke a standing Candido in the corner, while the commentators compare him to Randy Orton and how he seems to be trying to live up to the former-WWE Intercontinental Champion’s “Legend Killer” gimmick, in assaulting the veteran Candido.
		Carnera utilizes some Andre the Giant-style fists to Candido’s back, and then lets Eddy hammer Candido from the apron a few times, while Joe is busy dealing with Bigelow on the opposite side of the ring.

		Carnera isn't the only boxer to try his hand at what is now billed as "sports entertainment."

	Bernard Fernandez
		Carnera was 16-2 when he was brought to the United States for a whirlwind succession of bouts against opponents who might or might not have gone into the tank to help him pad his record.
		In his 18th U.S. bout, on June 23, 1930, at Philadelphia’s Baker Bowl, Carnera was taking a frightful beating at the hands of George Godfrey when he was awarded a fifth-round “victory” by disqualification, setting off a near-riot among the 35,000 spectators who knew the smell of rotten scrapple when they whiffed it.
		Following that scare, Carnera was spoon-fed more soft touches, and his reputation as a fearsome and potentially lethal destroyer was embellished when Ernie Schaaf died 4 days after being stopped by Carnera on Feb. 10, 1933.

		To give his fighter confidence, he arranged for Carnera to win 12 of his first 14 fights (he won the other two honestly), which was sufficient to give him a reputation in Europe.
		Eventually Carnera got a title fight and won, only to be badly beaten by Max Baer a year later.

		The script originally called for Morgan to win the fight, but Carnera (who was the inspiration for the Budd Schulberg novel on which THE HARDER THEY FALL is based) refused to take a cinematic dive and agreed to appear only after the outcome of the fight was altered and he was promised extra money.
