"LaMotta, a human windmill could not get started as Zivic kept him continuously off balance through the early rounds with a left jab. Zivic was the boxing master through the first nine rounds and only in the 2nd and 7th did LaMotta gain an edge. After the 9th the veteran couldn't hold the heavier puncher but it was apparently a fast rally in the final round that gave him the decision." New York Times
