Laurent Dauthuille (20 February 1924–10 July 1971) was a French boxer. On September 13, 1950 he fought Jake LaMotta, a boxer he once bested by unanimous decision, for the world middleweight championship. He was ahead on all cards into the 15th and final round of the match, when he was felled by a late flurry of punches from LaMotta. He ultimately lost by knockout when he was counted out with only 13 seconds left in the fight.[1] He fought 15 more times but never again for a world title.
