Question Regarding Baer-Carnera...

[Goodnight, Irene]

Out of curiosity, anyone know in which rounds (& how many times per given round) Baer had Carnera down?

[Ambling Alp]

There seems to be some question about this. Several books that I have read refer to Carnera being down 11 times. None of them say which rounds Carnera was knocked down in.
However, in the book "Cinderella Man" it lists the knockdowns by round, and they add up to 12.

Three times in Round 1, three times in Round 2, once in round 3, three times in round 10, and twice in round 11. Perhaps one of them wasn't an official knockdown.

I think the question of knockdowns comes up because on several instances they went down in a pile together. On every occasion Carnera was hurt I think, and just pulled Baer down with him.

P.S. Carnera was down twice in the first off clean shots
