Top of Page Primo Camera I can not find any information on Primo Camera. Please send me as much as you can on this boxer. I have been looking for this man's life history for a long time? ?╟÷Joe and Michael Primo Camera was bom Oct. 26, 1906, in Sequals, Italy. He grew to 6-6, 260 pounds, which won the nickname "The Ambling Alp" from sportswriters. While touring Europe as a "strong man" and wrestler with a small circus, Camera was discovered by a French boxing promoter, Leon See, and he fought for two years in Europe, mostly in Paris and London. In 18 bouts, he lost only once, on a foul, and he won 12 by KO. Camera came to the U. S. in 1930 and won 17 consecutive fights, 16 of them by KO. However, he came under mob control and it's likely that many of these fights were fixed. He suffered his first U. S. loss, a 10-round decision, to Jimmy Maloney in Boston on October 7, 1930. But Camera kept fighting, winning most of the time, usually by KO. On Hickok Sports .com 1 of2 8/18/99 4:09 PM
