    About this ebook

    Cesar Brion was a heavyweight from Cordoba, Argentina, a former worker in the diplomatic office. He came to the United States, like many other young prospects, hoping to have a shot at meeting the winner of the Ezzard Charles-Jersey Joe Walcott 1949 fight. There were others who came from Europe and have been called Young Lions by one sportswriter. Rocky Marciano was considered one of the young hopefuls also. He first fought at Madison Square Garden on the undercard of the Roland LaStarza-Cesar Brion bout in 1949. Brion was excellent as a defensive fighter and could take some heavy punishment dished out by great fighters like Joe Louis and Ezzard Charles. Louis fought Brion twice, first in Chicago and then in San Francisco. For much of the fight in SF's Cow Palace Joe and Cesar went toe to toe in the ring. Louis said afterward that it was as hard a 10 round fight as he had ever been in.

      Cesar Brion Argentine Heavyweight Boxer - Robert Grey Reynolds, Jr

      Cesar Silverio Brion

      Argentine Heavyweight Boxer

      Published by Robert Grey Reynolds Jr. at Smashwords

      Copyright 2016 by Robert Grey Reynolds Jr.

      Cesar Brion was among the Young Lions who came to America in hopes of meeting the winner of the Jersey Joe Walcott-Ezzard Charles fight of June 22, 1949. Brion came from Argentina while Gino Bounvino and Harry Berntsen arrived from Italy and Norway respectively. Among the American Young Lions were Rocky Marciano, Roland LaStarza, Rex Layne and Henry Snow Flakes.

      In 1949 Rocky Marciano made his New York debut by knocking out Pat Richards of Columbus, Ohio at 0:39 of the second round at Madison Square Garden. The bout was the undercard of the Roland LaStarza-Cesar Brion heavyweight fight. LaStarza won a unanimous decision to improve his record to 37-0. It was a lackluster fight watched by 12,035 people.

      In May Cesar Brion, of Cordoba, Argentina was being touted as the new Luis Firpo, as
