what happened?”

Jake LaMotta
Boxer, comic, hard-headed bastard.
July 10, 1922 – September 19, 2017.
Aged 95 years.

Most recognized for: Jake’s turbulent life was chronicled in the Oscar winning biopic “Raging Bull.” Not only was he known for doling out savage punishment in the ring, but he he could also take it like no other. In the end, it was pneumonia that got the last 10 count on the ol’ Bronx Bull.
