Boxers of the 1940s Introduction The 1940s were a unique heyday for the sport of boxing, with some iconic boxing greats, momentous bouts, charismatic rivalries, and the introduction of televised matches. There was also a slowdown in boxing during this time due to the effects of World War II. History Humans have fought each other with their fists since the dawn of time, and boxing as a sport has been around nearly as long. Boxing, where two people participate in hand-to-hand combat for sport, began at least several thousand years ago in the ancient Near East. A relief from Sumeria (present-day Iraq) from the third millennium BC shows two facing figures with fists striking each other’s jaws. This is the earliest known depiction of boxing. Similar reliefs and paintings have also been found from the third and second millennium onward elsewhere in the ancient Middle East and Egypt.

Monitor Index and Democrat, Moberly.Mo 13 July 1939 CONN AND BETTINA FIGHT TONIGHT Winner of Match Might Be the Heavyweight Champ Next Summer NEW YORK, July 13 Billy Conn of Pittsburgh and Melio Bettina of Beacon, N.Y.,. two tough youngsters who fully expect to be plunk m the middle of the heavyweight situation a year from now, clash in a 15-rounder at Madison Square Garden tonight for the country's 175-pound title. Bettina already has been recognized as light heavyweight champion by the New York State Athletic Commission, and the winner of tonight's tussle will get an official nod from the National Boxing Association, making it unanimous. Conn, reigning favorite of New York fans since his two victories over Fred Apostoli and another over Solly Krieger, has been made a firm choice in the betting, with Bettina's admirers receiving 3 to 1 for their money. Conn is the faster and his left hook is the prettiest thing in the ring today. Bettina, squat and sturdy, packs the better punch. Promoter Mike Jacobs has admitted he expects to make more out of Conn in the long run than any of the current "contenders' for Joe Louis heavyweight title.

  • Rocky Graziano Name: Rocky Graziano Career Record: Click Alias
    Rocky Graziano Name: Rocky Graziano Career Record: click Alias: The Rock Birth Name: Thomas Rocco Barbella Nationality: US American Birthplace: New York, NY, USA Hometown: New York, NY, USA Born: 1922-06-07 Died: 1990-05-22 Age at Death: 67 Stance: Orthodox Height: 5' 7 Division: Middleweight Trainer: Whitey Bimstein, Al Silvani Managers: Irving Cohen, Jack Hurle A product of New York City's tough Lower East Side, Graziano was continually in trouble during his teen-age years. Drafted into the Army early in 1942, he soon went absent without leave and took the ring name of a friend, Tommy Rocky Graziano, to become a professional fighter. He had eight fights in less than three months before the Army caught him. He was given a dishonorable discharge and sentenced to a year in military prison, where he joined the boxing team. Released in June of 1943, he again became a professional boxer, still using his ring name. A non-stop street fighter, Graziano had three historic bouts with Tony Zale. In the first, a middleweight championship fight on September 27, 1946, Zale seemed on the verge of collapse under Graziano's pounding, but he suddenly scored a 6th-round knockout to hold onto the title. Though he was popular with fight fans because of his style, Graziano was not so popular with boxing officials. The New York State Athletic Commission suspended his license in 1947 for allegedly failing to report a bribe attempt, so a rematch with Zale was moved to Chicago Stadium. The $422,918 gate was a record for an indoor fight.

  • Melson Receives Humanitarian Award from WBC; Set to Assist Amateur Program!
    Melson Receives Humanitarian Award from WBC; Set to Assist Amateur Program! New York, NY (July 6, 2015) – WBC-USNBC junior middleweight champion Captain Boyd “Rainmaker” Melson received the Humanitarian Award from the WBC during their NABF convention last weekend in San Francisco, CA. A success since first putting on a pair of gloves as a Plebe (freshman) while attending West Point, Melson won various tournaments as an amateur prior to capturing the WBC-USNBC crown with a career-best performance against Mike Ruiz in May. Since turning pro in 2010, Melson’s donated 100% of his fight purse earnings and helped raise more than $300,000 towards stem cell research in lieu of America’s first clinical trial to help cure Chronic Spinal Cord Injuries. His ultimate goal is to see his best friend Christan Zaccagnino, who was paralyzed from her neck down from a childhood diving accident, walk again. Last month, Melson and other supporters of Team Fight to Walk had an emotional meeting with Congress in Washington, DC to push for the trial to officially be approved. The meeting was a major success and Congressman Chaka Fattah is a big believer in the trials, which produced outstanding results when it was conducted in China. Team Fight to Walk hopes to officially get the green light for the US trial in the very near future. The epitome of a selfless athlete, Melson’s humanitarian efforts have been featured by ESPN, HBO, Yahoo, Sports Illustrated, The Wall Street Journal, Ring Magazine and Huffington Post amongst various other outlets. Recently, Melson was invited to San Francisco for the convention to discuss the WBC’s initiative to sponsor different amateur boxing programs.
