SportsCentury Hurricane Carter
|
midnight ET
|
Whether Hurricane Carter ever would have been a world champion will never be known, though he was past his prime when he was convicted of three murders in 1967. He had only one title fight -- and he lost it, a 15-round decision to middleweight champ Joey Giardello in 1964. Before that bout, Carter had won 20 of his first 24 fights, including 13 by knockout. Afterward, he won only seven of his last 15 bouts. Carter had become a cause célèbre, an unwilling poster child for racial injustice that, in his case, was not righted until he already had spent almost 20 years imprisoned for three murders he apparently did not commit. Chris Fowler hosts this SportsCentury series.
