ESPN clip of Ray Mercer bribing Jesse Ferguson to lose fight (while they were in the ring actually fighting) case goes to court (1994)
|
Ferguson was brought in as an opponent for Ray Mercer on the undercard of a Riddick Bowe title defense against Michael Dokes. Mercer was expected to knock Ferguson out and fight Bowe for the title. Instead Mercer showed up ill prepared and Ferguson, perhaps motivated by the big stage, dominated him. At one point Mercer allegedly offered Ferguson a bribe to "lay down,"(by whispering in Ferguson's ear during the fight) realizing his big shot at Bowe was slipping away from him. Ferguson refused the money and won a unanimous decision.
UPDATE (4/18/1994) Ray Mercer, the 1988 Olympic gold medalist boxer who has been accused of offering his opponent a bribe in the ring, has been acquitted by a jury in New York.
After a two-week trial in Manhattan, a jury acquitted the heavyweight contender on a charge of sports bribery, saying essentially that Mercer did not offer Jesse Ferguson $100,000 to throw their (Feb. 6, 1993) match.
Videotape of the bout at Madison Square Garden allegedly disclosed that starting in the third round, Mercer repeatedly offered Ferguson the money if he took a dive.
Mercer, who lost the 10-round fight in a unanimous decision, was later indicted on a charge that he tried to bribe Ferguson.
The 31-year old Mercer showed no emotion during the verdict, but afterward, said he hopes to resume his career soon.(BNET)

The Joe Louis Story : For All Time - (90min) (1984)
|
''Champion of champions, the greatest of them all.'' That's the way Budd Schulberg describes the hero of ''Joe Louis: For All Time,'' a documentary shown on the Arts & Entertainment Network. Peter Tatum is the director and Brock Peters is the narrator for the ABC Video Enterprises production. Mr. Schulberg, author of ''The Harder They Fall,'' wrote the script for this film profile of the heavyweight boxer. He cannot be accused of exaggeration.
Joe Louis Barrow (1914-1981) was born the son of sharecroppers in Alabama. The heavyweight champion at the time was Jack Johnson, a black man who, Mr. Schulberg writes, walked into ''a buzzsaw of prejudice,'' triggering ''a crusade to bring the championship back to white America.'' Joe Louis was raised in Detroit. On his way to violin lessons one day, he was sidetracked by a friend to a local gym. White America would have another, far longer wait. By 1933, Mr. Louis was establishing his reputation in Golden Gloves bouts and was ready to join forces with Jack Blackburn, the trainer who would become a significant influence in his life.
Mr. Schulberg believes that the heavyweight champion, larger than life, ''allegorically comes to symbolize his particular era.'' Mr. Louis, certainly, seemed to be the perfect champion for his time. In public, his unfailing decency and dignity gave even the most rabid bigots pause. His color took on international political significance when in 1936 he was knocked out by Max Schmeling, a boxer saddled, unfairly or not, with the trappings of Hitlerian Germany and its theories of Aryan supremacy. Before the rematch in 1938, which Mr. Louis ended after two minutes of the first round, the American champion was invited to the White House, where he remembers President Roosevelt feeling his biceps and remarking: ''These are the type of muscles needed to beat Germany with.''
With plenty of archival footage, the documentary follows Mr. Louis's rise to the top, ticking off names bound to stir veteran fight fans: Jim Braddock, Max Baer, Primo Carnera, King Levinsky, Two-Ton Tony Galento and, in 1941, Billy Conn, who came very close to toppling the champion.
The documentary also traces Joe Louis's decline. Mr. Louis was hounded for years by the Internal Revenue Service, finding himself, as Mr. Schulberg puts it, ''on a golden treadmill -the more he earned, the more he owed.'' For a while, desperate to make money, he appeared on the wrestling circuit, surely the bottom of the barrel for a champion boxer.
He also had personal problems. Although he carefully avoided scandalous headlines, Mr. Louis became ''a magnet for Sugar Babies,'' which led to marriage problems. Later he would be ensnared in drug problems and a bout of paranoia that would lead to enforced hospitalization.
Mr. Louis ended up wearing a large cowboy Stetson as a host for a Las Vegas hotel and gambling casino. A stroke left him noticeably impaired, but he had survived with his basic decency intact.
''For All Time,'' made in 1984, ends with a testimonial dinner mounted by friends who wanted to welcome him back from years of darkness. Frank Sinatra wheels him into the ballroom. Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson and Larry Holmes acknowledge their debt to the champion of champions. Mayor Tom Bradley of Los Angeles recalls how, for so many black citizens, Joe Louis was for so long ''our symbol of achievement,'' embodying a sense of dignity.
Mr. Louis was, by Executive Order, buried in Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors. He deserved them. And he deserves this splendid documentary written by Budd Schulberg.

The Jack Johnson Story - (90min) (1971)
|
A documentary on the first African-American boxer to ever become world heavyweight champion. Released in the same year as the film "The Great White Hope" starring James Earl Jones and also Oscar nominated like that film, this project uses of stills, archive footage and his own words narrated beautifully by actor Brock Peters and his famous baritone voice to present Johnson's life, trajectory and of course, 'the fight of the century' against James Jeffries.
