Jimmy Reeves

Jimmy Reeves (April 4, 1918 – December 1974) was an American boxer from Cleveland, Ohio.[1] He won the 1939 light heavyweight championship.

He gave Jake LaMotta his first defeat in a controversial decision on September 24, 1941, in a match that was briefly recreated in the film Raging Bull. Reeves' estate sued United Artists for compensation, but the complaint was dismissed.[2] Reeves faced LaMotta two more times, winning on October 20, 1941 by decision and then losing on March 19, 1943,[1] in what has been called LaMotta's "first boxing rivalry".[3]
