World Boxing Association Middleweight Title (1st defense by Giardello)
World Boxing Council Middleweight Title (1st defense by Giardello)
Cunning Pays Off For Champ
Associated Press | December 15, 1964
It was like the old matador against the young, dangerous bull.
Middleweight champion Joey Giardello came perilously close to being gored but he called on every trick he learned in 16 years of pro battling to beat strong Rubin (Hurricane) Carter in his first title defense last night.
A rousing finish in the last five rounds of the 15-rounder earned the crafty, 34-year-old champion the unanimous decision over the muscular, 27-year-old second-ranking contender from Paterson, N.J., at Convention Hall.
Giardello was cut over the left eye and shaken by a jolting left hook in the fourth round. Carter had his big chance in that round but he blew it. Giardello absorbed several other solid left hooks to the jaw from his ever-threatening foe but Pal Joey always managed to slip away from the brink of disaster. There were no knockdowns.
The ring-scarred champion kept on the move constantly against his stalking, straight-moving opponent. With blood trickling from the cut most of the way, Giardello fought the classic fight - sticking with his left jab to the head, hooking to the body and head and making Carter miss.
Joey had the challenger slicing the air with dozens of punches in most rounds with a slip of the head or a slight move backwards or to the side. Carter landed his share of punches but Giardello scored with more."
Giardello was a veteran of 128 professional fights, while Carter had just 24.
Giardello and Carter were scheduled to fight in Las Vegas on October 23, 1964, but Giardello pulled out when the promoters failed to come up with the $55,000 which had been guaranteed in the contract.
Giardello received 60% of the gross gate and paid Carter $10,000 from his end. Giardello also earned about $5,000 more from television to several cities.
A crowd of 7,652 produced a gross gate of $85,245.
Carter entered the ring a 6-5 favorite after being a 7-5 underdog earlier in the day.
The score listed above for judge Jim Mina is incorrect. His actual score was 69-64 for Giardello.
The Associated Press scored the fight 69-68 for Giardello.
A poll of ringside scribes showed a 15-5 edge for Giardello.
The decision was greeted by mingled cheers and boos. One fan heaved a bottle into the ring as the fighters left. Nobody was hit.
"I won it clear - at least 9-6," Carter said. "I had him on the hook but let him get off. He's cagey and takes a helluva punch."
"He fought my fight and didn't press as I expected him to press," Giardello said. "He didn't fight inside and made it easy for me. That had a lot to do with it." - บันเทิง

The Giardello Story needs to be made into a movie!!!
Jon Bernthal would be perfect to play the role as Joey Giardello
Back then, those were real middleweights
After Ruben Carter died, the NY
Daily News published my letter to the editor in which I criticized one of their reporters for falling all over himself in praise of Carter.
I also in my letter called out film director Norman Jewison for misrepresenting the fight between Carter and Giardello.
And I noted that I wasn’t convinced Carter was innocent of the murder charge in Patterson.
A few days later the newspaper published a letter by a woman who branded me a racist.
But I also got an email from Mr. Giardello thanking me for my letter, which actually meant something to me.
:))
I don’t think you’re racist, but I think that you need to understand the times Carter was living in and the state of mind he would be in, the state of mind WHITE AMERICA was in and WHO HURRICANE CARTER was and what he stood for. He was feared, outcasted, etc. It is sadly very possible that a powerful black man like Carter, if were to be living in the ‘60’s-would be in Great danger simply because of the ignorant people back then. That is exactly why they took him down.
Look at 2pac. He’s gone....it wasn’t ‘cause he stepped on Orlando Anderson, IT’S THE GOVERNMENT WHO TOOK OUT ‘PAC!!!
Hurricane Carter was not dumb, bro. And definitely not stupid enough to pop bullets into innocent people. 2pac was promoting positive things for the black community and so that’s why they took him down as well.
@@THEDONSTR8Fightah76 na dude the gang member driving the car even Orlando took the gun a shot at Pac. Its all out now bro. Pac’s hot temper got him killed just like that meeting with Nas and Snoop. Nas let that dude slide that night
This real fight was completely different than what the movie showed.
I noticed that too. I watched the movie last night and foudn this fight to see what really happened. Hollywood has a way of distorting facts.
In the Film they made it look like Rubin Carter was blatantly robbed and should have won. In reality Joey Giardello won by 10 rounds to 5 rounds for Rubin Carter by Unanimous Points decision in my opinion. They also said he was undefeated and knocked out everyone when his record at the time was 24 fights with 20 wins and 12 by Knockout and 4 losses. But the reality didn't fit well with the writer's and Directors of the film The Hurricane so dramatic licence by Hollywood was used..
Not really, John. I believe that Carter may have been outboxed, but not outpunched. Ron Lipton, a man who fought with Carter in sparring watched this fight over and over, and I made highlights of this fight. Carter was the one landing all the bombs, not Giardello. Rubin fought Giardello's fight that night. Giardello couldn't possibly stand toe to toe and trade.
They do dramatize the statistics, but regardless. I have studied Carter's career very closely, and I must say that if you do not feel you want to give Carter the credit he deserves, just say he lost fair and square to Dick Tiger and Luis Rodriguez. A few of Carter's losses were in fact robberies by the way. His bout against Harry Scott for instance.
You probably know nothing about boxing, and even movies tbh. You say, Jack, that the real fight was different. But this was actually how boxing is supposed to look. In movies, they have to dramatize to keep attention. Rubin Hurricane Carter didn't fight the way he usually did. Rubin would be told he'd have to knock Giardello out. BUT REGARDLESS OF THAT.... Rubin's story will always have a special place in my heart, he is the very reason I keep moving forward in life. HURRICANE THE REAL BOXING VILLAIN.
The Golden Age of boxing
Real good 15 round fight.
I made highlights of this fight. Mind checking those out.
Who's here after watching The Hurricane?
Me. I got a bunch of Hurricane Carter videos. I’ve made highlights of his bouts, and other stuff too.
The fight with Joey giardello in the movie was a lie.. Joey won that fight. he sued the movie company or something because of the way he was portraying the movie which wasn't true.. and he won that decision too.
Watching it now for 100th time it seems. Great movie
Joey Giardello fought Everybody!
15 rounds back then was a crazy stretch 😊
Giardello outpointed him in a very close fight. NOTHING like the film..
Rubin was the aggressor and won.
@@THEDONSTR8Fightah76 No he did not. Not even close.
The Italian Stallion!🥊💥
I had it 8/6/1 giardello, I had carter 5/1 up after six ,Rubin ran out of gas ,good bodywork by giardello,Rubin did well in the first half of the fight
Great fight great copy with talk love this site
Carter landed his bomb in the 3rd and 4th rounds with Giardello hanging on. Carter didn't get the job done and allowed Giardello to pile up points between the 10th and 15th rounds. Giardello's strategy was to slow Carter down with body shots. By the 8th round this strategy worked. Carter did not dominate any rounds after about the 8th or 9th round. Giardello clearly won the 13th and 14th rounds by large margins or enough to get him a close decision. Bottom line in boxing - - if you don't beat the Champ convincingly by a knockout or a lopsided decision - - you won't win the Belt - - someone once said - - "You have to beat the man to be the man".
GREAT eye for boxing you have bud. I made a vid on Giardello vs. Carter on my channel by the way, check it, brother.
Never heard of him but now I do
Epic keep up the greatest work my man💯💙❤👑👑😎😀👍👏😆🔥
The Don. I’m 58 and from Bayonne. I still box.
Great video first off. Thx.
Carter lost but maybe it should have been closer. Carter as part of the settlement with Joey after the movie had to apologize for his part in shamefully making it look as if he won.
No one back then thought he won. Joey was 7 yrs older and beat Dick Tiger 2x. Joey is something like 5 wins and 2 losses against Hall of Fame fighters. He ducked no one. My dad met him a few times. He did a lot for kids.
Carter was tough. Beat Emile. Fought Joey tough. I still drive past the murder scene once or twice a year. My kid goes to HS in Haledon.

Great commentary as well
Yo bro I made a documentary on this fight
a fairly good fight. not a slugfest, but good nonetheless.
I wish it was a slug fest.
Wow, it's one thing to bend the truth, but the director of the Hurricane film actually told the complete opposite of the truth.
It wasn't that far from the truth. Rubin was the aggressor, in the fight he just wasn't able to knock out Joey Giardello.
@@THEDONSTR8Fightah76 The movie was completely far from the truth. The film sucked. Giardello clearly won.
Giardello won..
Carter... STRAIGHT OUT ROBBERY.. NO WAY IN HELL GIADELLO WON THE FIGHT
@@kevincheatim3252word bro. Hurricane was the aggressor.
Nothing like the movie showed, I wonder what else they framed in it. This fight goes back to the old saying "You have to take it away from the champ. Under that philosophy Carter didn't. One could even call it a drawl.
Carter was the aggressor.
They didn’t want THE BLACK ANGEL as their champion.
Thought it was much closer than the scoring you have a point. The challenger needs to take the title.
@@THEDONSTR8Fightah76 Carter lost clearly
@@THEDONSTR8Fightah76 Carter lost clearly.
I think if you put it all together that Giardello won by a very narrow margin. Was not a thrilling fight by any means.
I've made highlights, Carter mostly outpunched Giardello and landed more hard hits.
What the 😬 that didn’t happen in the movie
Rubin was the aggressor, the whole fight. It was indeed a robbery.
th-cam.com/video/ii89DRRJygg/w-d-xo.html
@@THEDONSTR8Fightah76 No it was not.
Nope - Joey was robbed in the movie.
Rubin was the aggressor.
@@THEDONSTR8Fightah76 So what? Giardello clearly won.
You know nothing about boxing.
Carter did much more damage to Giardellos face
that doesn't mean anything
Sup
I finished The 16th Round.
I don’t think Rubin Carter committed triple homicide, because he was a contender in boxing. Boxing is the sport that releases you from the dirty life on the streets. He wasn’t stealing clothes like he was doing when he was 11 with his gang buddies. Why would he do it? I know I wouldn’t. That’s absurd. Rubin Carter did not commit triple homicide.
@@THEDONSTR8Fightah76 Many boxers needed boxing to stay out of trouble. Look at Sonny Liston or Mike Tyson.
@@antoniomosley9410 And even with Boxing they didn't stay out of trouble
@@tiarara2011 Good point.
I don’t doubt that giarello was a good fighter but I saw a loss here. His face was busted and his eye was swole and I saw a lot of missed punches by giarello. I watched this fight because I watched the hurricane movie and saw then on the internet (researching a couple things from the movie) that giarello sued the movie company Universal because he said they portrayed him as a weak fighter and that they hyped up the racism angle. So I wanted to see if giarello was right and racism or whatever be damned, I saw a fighter who was contending for the championship BEAT the actual champion and I think the hurricane had a point here that he was robbed. If ANYTHING you could say maybe a draw but there’s no way giarello outright won this fight. I honestly believe that they were punishing Carter due to the interview with the newspaper where he said some explosive things about the racial state of America at that time. Remember this is the same time as the rise of Ali who also dealt with racial discrimination due to his outspoken views on racism too. The movie may have taken liberties on how one sided they made the fight look (because these guys were fighting each other it wasn’t a beating that was one sided) but they were not way far off of the truth. I also think that’s why nothing came of his lawsuit against the movie company because all you have to do is watch this actual fight. I hate that black athletes with tremendous skill couldn’t just get in the ring or on the field or court and let their talent speak for them they had to overcome racial obstacles just to get a foot on that field or court. Even the announcer in this video is overselling the punches of giarello and underselling Carter’s. I saw a left snap giarellos whole head backwards and he staggers after it and then the announcer says “a light left by carter”. Really? Would YOU be able to take that left if it was “so light”?
WOW you wrote a lot. I made highlights to this fight. Check those out.
No way I wouldn't be able to take a punch from Carter. Every punch was fast, and hard. Every punch by him was a knockout punch. Hurricane Carter was very special. I don't think there was ever another fighter that fought with the aggression that Rubin Hurricane Carter had. I have a bunch of Rubin Carter bouts, and I've made highlights to every one of them that's on TH-cam.
I also came up with this theory. That if Rubin Carter did shoot up the bar, it wasn't with John Artis, it was with John Bucks Royster. The dude who stepped out of the car the second time the police pulled them over. Because in 1967 John Bucks Royster came to court DRUNK. So he basically dumbed himself down so that he wouldn't be able to get himself in trouble. And Rubin is like "Well why do I have to do time, when he is free?!"
But again, I know the justice system is extremely flawed.
@@THEDONSTR8Fightah76 I watched a couple. I though the 2 pac one was pretty dope.
@@THEDONSTR8Fightah76 I read the book "The 16th round " when it first came out. Also read about him in a Sports magazine. So I thought He was framed. Then years later , I worked with the brother of Elwood Tuck who knew Carter. I thought he would defend Carter . Instead he told me he was guilty. Carter was a mean and explosive person. Turn on you in a minute. That one time they were out of the country for a boxing match and had a hard time leaving because he exploded. He once beat a woman supporter of his so badly , she ended up in the hospital. (Carol Kelley)
The guy who took the worse beating is the guy who usually loses a unanimous decision they robbed Carter bc this took place in a time when black were in slavery by another name JIM CROW
Should have been a draw🖤
I made highlights.
Actually, I made highlights to all Rube’s bouts.
I believe carter son that fight, but couldve been a draw.
I made highlights.
B/S
Carter won.... EASILY.
What fight were you watching?
@@johngluck6938This one. Carter was the aggressor
Nope Joey Won !
Hurricane
I don't believe Carter was innocent of his part in the killing of that old white man, and the depiction in the movie, is ridiculously biased towards him. It's so easy to say that he was trying to get with underage boys, for sex, when in fact black on white crime is VERY common, whether it is muggings, beatings, rape, or a combination of all three.
Well, I believe he was guilty too. Just not of the triple-murder they pinned on him. If Rubin did it, being the hardcore BOXING badman he was, he'd have no problem taking accountability for it. "I am an Angel....The Black Angel"
@@THEDONSTR8Fightah76 Strange how your comment got a love, when it was an agreement of what I said, but thank you for responding
@@brucelee-oy4hvNo. I disagreed with you. Reread what I said. Carter was not a murderer, at least not with a weapon that wasn’t his two fists.
And the movie was not biased, or rediculous. He was better as a fighter and person in reality than what they showed in that movie. Do research. Stop hatin’ THE HURRICANE.
@@THEDONSTR8Fightah76 I meant that it was biased in the way it showed how the old guy in the park died. So easy for them to say that he was a paedophile
Ruben Carter Got robbed that night
Nope Joey got robbed in the movie!
