With a bald head, goatee, cold eyes and a devastating left uppercut, Ruben Carter, nicknamed "Hurricane", was once the American middleweight champion, but in 1966 he was unjustly imprisoned for 30 years after passing through the murder scene.

The only way to escape from the, metaphorical or universal sleep prison is to wake up." Important lines 1 I can only say that the referees are blind. 2 I don’t have a cell in my heart, nor feelings.
