I bet Carmen Basilio was thinking TO HIMSELF
"I would love to shove that cigarette up his Ass".
Did you see all that second hand smoke in the air during the interview ?
I'm surprised the interviewer didn't bring out a bottle of Scotch and pour himself a drink , 'on the rocks" during the interview.

yeah, probably because he had others 'In-hale" most of his smoke for him during interviews.
BTW was Carmen Basilio calling out Abe Attell in that interview ?
Abe Attell was the former featherweight champion, but about 74 years old in 1957.
wonder how a match between those two would have gone >
