Me, too. But it seems Carnera, in his latest TB incarnation, is no longer the thoroughly hapless punching bag he has been throughout the AH, APBA and TB1 days (to say nothing of his pitifulness in Data Boxing). And having watched some video of him on youtube, he doesn't look like the complete stiff I believed him to be growing up. He certainly looks like he'd be at least even money with anybody out there now, with the possible (but not definite) exception of the Klitschkos.
The way he won also seemed realistic, with Brennan outworking him until Da Preem's size and strength took over.
