The Primo & Max Story-A 3 part Boxing Documentary

[audio http://media.libsyn.com/media/wordballoon/WBprimo-max.mp3] download the mp3 here A special for Boxing Day (though I'm a day late) Here's another example of my radio work. From 2002, I made this 3 part audio documentary about the Heavyweight title fight between Max Baer (left) and Primo Carnera. The details behind their 1934 fight inspired a novel and film about the mob's influence over boxing called THE HARDER THEY FALL. The film is doubly noteworthy, as it was Humphrey Bogart's last film Hear the story from sports historian Bert Sugar, Harder They Fall author/screenwriter Budd Schulberg, and the son of the former Heavyweight Champion Max Baer Jr, aka Jethro Bodine of The Beverly Hillbillies
