13, 2014, entitled The Boys of November, dealing with the Evander Holyfield-Riddick Bowe trilogy (all three of their showdowns had taken place in that month), so why not a similar one on The Men of February? I had authored a column for the Sweet Science, posted on Nov. Then I noticed that four of their six meetings in the ring had taken place in February, which made the notion of a look-back piece on the Robinson-LaMotta rivalry even more compelling. 5 would be the 74 th anniversary of the second fight in the six-bout series between Sugar Ray Robinson and Jake LaMotta, and the only one that LaMotta won (at least officially, according to the “Bronx Bull”), I decided to do a story on two proud men with starkly contrasting styles, and a shared history that has since taken on the trappings of legend. JAKE LaMOTTA, THE RAGING BULL - It seemed to be a good idea at the time.
