Rubin Hurricane Carter & Joey Giardello Autographs
A 16x20 Black and White Action Photograph
signed by both Rubin Carter and Joey Giardello. Comes with
photos of both boxers signing this great image.
After Carter was acclaimed "Fighter of
the Year," Carter demanded a shot at Giardello, the
newly crowned middleweight champ. One year later in front
of 6,000 boxing fans in Philadelphia, he did fight Giardello,
in a 15-round championship fight but lost to a decision....Cater
told news sources, "I think it was mine." Carter
believed he won nine of the rounds, who believed he had
won nine rounds."
Who would have thought that just a couple of years later
from the fight between him and Giardello, Hurricane Carter,
would be arrested for murder!
In the year 2000, a movie was made about him called the
"Hurricane." On March 1, 2000, the movie was one
of a select choice of movies nominated for the Oscar.

RUBIN CARTER- The Hurricane
The life of Rubin “Hurricane”
Carter has taken many twists, from obscurity to acclaim
and back again. Carter’s boxing career began in 1961,
and his fast and furious style made him a crowd favourite.
Five years later, while preparing for a World Championship
fight, Carter was arrested for triple murder. Although steadfastly
maintaining his innocence, he was convicted and sentenced
to three life terms, narrowly escaping the electric chair.
