Great fight. Fusari was a very good fighter who came up short in two title fights against Sugar Ray Robinson and Johnny Bratton really looked sharp in the second half of the fight. This is the only time I have seen Tony Pellone fight, and was also impressed by his performance. I did feel that when Tony went down in the 9th it could have been called a knockdown, and was surprised that neither Izzy Klein or Teddy Bentham didn't stop the fight after the 9th. Great fight though, and would love to see more of both fighters if available.

Wow, great fight! I'm impressed with both boxer. Fusari's jabs, footwork and controls are beautiful. While Tony Pellone, though not a fluid boxer but a mauler, really knows how to use his little assets. He is not that fast or had a big punch but he's awkward and very, very strong...like Jake LaMotta...and he's using that strength very well to offset Fusari. And mind you, unlike LaMotta, he's not big. But he knows how to bully and maul more bigger opponent like Henry Armstrong and Duran do. This art of mauling and in fighting is now a lost art. Most boxers today relies on their size to maul their opponents which is very ineffective if they are facing fighters who knows how to deal with bigger figher or have the same size if not bigger.

Sugar Ray Robinson said Charley Fusari was his toughest fight. The surprised sports writers asked “ what “. “Why”. Ray said I had to fight for the both of us. And Ray always complimented his opponents but since he did not get paid for the fight as it was a benefit for the Damon Runyon Cancer Fund I suppose he felt it was ok to say that.

I doubt it. SRR agreed to carry Fusari, so it could hardly be his toughest fight. His toughest opponent was probably Art Levine.
