Carnera: The Walking Mountain
Bill Duffy
En 1933, Primo Carnera (el "Gigante Bueno") fue el primer y único italiano que consiguió el título de Campeón Mundial de Boxeo de los Pesos Pesados. Pero antes de alcanzar la gloria, Carnera había llevado una vida llena de dificultades. Su vida inspiró varios libros y películas como “Más dura será la caída” y “Réquiem por un campeón”. Después de trabajar como forzudo en un circo, empezó a boxear sin tener ningún tipo de técnica: ganaba los combates por k.0. En Estados Unidos, su representante, un hombre vinculado a la mafia, se dedicó a amañar sus combates, lo que hizo que Carnera perdiera la simpatía del público y de los medios de comunicación.
