THE SAUCE OF CHAMPIONS HISTORYLaMotta's Tomatta Sauce, made with the finest all-natural ingredients,is the divine inspiration of former middleweight champion Jake 'RagingBull' LaMotta and his son, Joe. A genuinely fierce ring rivalry was born.Ī self confessed bad guy outside of the ring in his younger days, Jake was a celebrated piece of ring royalty a treasured former warrior who was applauded for the way he was able to survive both the rough, tough mean streets of his upbringing and the ravages of the ring.LaMotta's LaMotta's Tomatta Sauce Four months later the two met again, with Jake turning the tables on Ray, winning a 10-round decision of his own, thus ruining Robinson’s perfect (40-0) ledger. Amazingly, Jake fought 20 times in his debutant year alone! The following year, in October, LaMotta faced “Sugar” Ray for the first time, losing a decision to the 35-0 master. Turning pro in March of 1941, with a 4-round points win over Charley Mackley, LaMotta soon earned himself a reputation as a no-nonsense tough guy. Rarely has a stronger man – mentally or physically – stepped into the ring. And the list goes on.īlessed with one of the hardest, most durable chins in all of boxing, Jake took everything his opponents could dish out. Tony Janiro, the good looking kid Jake busted up (as immortalised in the classic movie starring Robert De Niro – “well, he ain’t good looking any more”) left us in 1985. The sublime Sugar Ray Robinson had been gone for a quarter of a century, Frenchman Laurent Dauthuille, against whom Jake scored that flabbergasting, come-from-behind, last 13-seconds of the 15th-round KO, passed away back in 1971. Hardened on the mean streets of The Bronx in New York, “The Raging Bull”, who retired from the ring with an astonishing 83-19-4(30) record in April of 1954, outlived his famous ring rivals by a considerable amount of time by the time he passed away aged 95 on September 19, 2017. BOXING legend and former middleweight king Jake LaMotta was born on July 10, 1922.
