COMMENTATOR:
Jake LaMotta, in his corner,
believes he can whip
anybody in the world,
and he's trying to prove it tonight.
He has set, as you can see,
to make an all-out effort
to retain that heralded crown.

NEWS:
The nation's underworld
gets the unwelcome spotlight
of publicity as the Senate's
investigation subcommittee
begins new hearings on crime.
This he describes as the government
of organized gambling,
narcotics peddling,
extortion, racketeering
and controlling of certain trade unions.
He says the income runs into billions.
[ALL CLAMORING]
Will you be disclosing any
criminal names, Mr. LaMotta?
Does organized crime
call the shots in Boston?
What about your brother, Jake?
Is he involved in this?
Will you be disclosing
any organized-crime names?
What about your brother Joey?
Is he involved in this?
Look, fellas, ladies, I don't
really have anything to say.
I'll tell you what.
Things work out in there,
I'll join youse all for a beer.

BONOMI:
Mr. LaMotta, you were
a professional boxer
from 1941 to approximately 1954?
Is that correct?
Yes, sir.
And, uh, how many bouts have you had?
Amateur, professional, about 125.
And at one time you were
the middleweight champion
of the world, is that right?
Yes, sir, I was.
Can you tell us some of
your prominent fights?
Well, I fought Ray Robinson six times.
I won the middleweight championship
from Marcel Cerdan.
Fought Pritzi Zivic four times,
Laurent Dauthuille twice.
Knocked him out in the 15th round.
Retained my title.
Do you want me to go through
all 125 of these?
'Cause I gotta tell you,
Your Honor, you know,
I got punched in the head a lot,
and I'm not sure my memory's
all that good.
Remember Billy Fox. You fought him
at the Park Arena in 1947.
Yes, sir, I fought Billy Fox.
That fight was listed as a knockout.
Billy Fox knocked you out.
For the record, is there
anything you want to state
- about that fight?
- If I'm gonna make a statement,
I'd like to start at the beginning,
if it's all right with the court.
BONOMI:
You can make any statement you like.
