cactus Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 This is clipped down too much to form a definitive opinion on. Pretty standard stuff for the time. Londos slickly counters Carnera's body scissors in a Boston Crab to pick up the first fall and they play off it in the final fall before the time limit expires. It's cool to see Londos in action, but this wasn't anything to write home about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Thesz had already unified the world titles at this point, yet this is billed as a world title match in the results I've seen. Can anyone confirm what world title? I'm confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul sosnowski Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Jim Londos was the final NYSAC World Champion when that group folded in 1934. Wiki says that Ring Magazine continued to recognize him as the true world champion until Londos retired in 1946. So that is probably the belt he has.

Loss Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Interesting. So I'm guessing this is kind of an outlaw thing because Thesz had already bundled the NYSAC title in with the NWA World Title by 1950. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
