Von Mises was a proponent of free markets in the face of socialism, which was spreading across Europe during his time. He fled Nazi Germany for the U.S. in 1940 and was a professor at New York University.

Moicano, who is from Brazil, took Turner down to the ground with less than a minute left in the second round. He proceeded to go on the attack and caught Turner with a few punches to the face. The refreee came over and stopped the fight.
