He had a hard upbringing, under the gaze of a strict father who threatened him with the belt if he caught him backing off from a confrontation. 'I used to run from fights,' he told American writer Peter Heller in 1970. 'And papa would see it from the steps. He'd take his belt, he'd say "All right, me or him?" and I'd go beat the kid: His father worked wherever and whenever he could, in shipyards and factories, sometimes as a welder, sometimes as a carpenter. 'I remember nine dollars a week paychecks,' the youngster recalled. 'Me, my mother, my step-brother, and my father and whatever hangers-on there were...there were always floaters in the family.' Pastrano was an overweight child but, like millions of youngsters at the time, he wanted to be a sports star like baseball's Babe Ruth.

When he was still a baby the family moved to Flatbush, a slightly upmarket district which he recalled as being “A nice neighborhood, we had a nice home”. In those days Brooklyn was not the ghetto which later produced world champions Mike Tyson, Riddick Bowe, and Mark Breland. Nevertheless growing up in New York in the 1930’s and 40’s brought its own difficulties and the young Giardello ran with street gangs and got involved in fights. He was always independent and, like so many of the war generation, grew up before his time. By the second half of 1945, World War II was officially over, but there was still plenty of mopping up to be done.

    Name: Carmen Basilio Career Record: click Alias: Upstate Onion Farmer Nationality: US American Hometown: Canastota, NY, USA Born: 1927-04-02 Stance: Orthodox Height: 5′ 6½″ Trainers: Angelo Dundee, Al Silvani Managers: Johnny DeJohn & Joe Netro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ISV 4lNTMLs http://www.hrc.utexas.edu/multimedia/ video/2008/wallace/basilio_carmen_t.ht ml http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xtxgi _carmen-basilio_news Carmine Basilio, born April 2, 1927 in Canastota, New York, better known in the boxing world as Carmen Basilio, is a former boxer of Italian-American origin. Some reports have suggested that Basilio changed his name from Carmine to Carmen before he began boxing, to sound more masculine. However, the reason why he changed his name to Carmen is really not known. Biography Basilio began his professional boxing career by meeting Jimmy Evans on November 24 of 1948 in Binghamton, New York. He knocked Evans out in the third round, and five days later, he beat Bruce Walters in only one round. Although he started to box late in '48, he completed four bouts before the year was over. He started 1949 with two draws, against Johnny Cummingham on January 5, and against Jay Perlin 20 days later. Basilio campaigned exclusively inside the state of New York during his first 24 bouts, going 19-3-2 during that span. His first loss was at the hands of Connie Thies, who beat him by a decision in 6 on May 2 of '49. He and Cunningham had three more fights during that period, with Basilio winning by knockout in two on their second meeting, Cummingham by a decision in eight in their third, and Basilio by decision in eight in their fourth.

  • “IRISH PAT” MCMURTRY Heavyweight Title Contender & Tacoma Native Son by Peter Bacho
    WashingtonHistory.org “IRISH PAT” MCMURTRY Heavyweight Title Contender & Tacoma Native Son By Peter Bacho COLUMBIA The Magazine of Northwest History, Summer 2002: Vol. 16, No. 2 Patrol officer Gordon Swenson hadn't seen anything like it during his long career with the Tacoma Police Department. There he was on the beat in one of Tacoma's toughest neighborhoods on an evening in October and there wasn't a single soul on the street—and not one responder call for an hour. In downtown Tacoma the streets were deserted as well, with the exception of a boisterous crowd of people outside Rhodes Department Store watching a flickering black and white television screen in the window. It was 1958 and Tacoma's pride and joy, boxer "Irish Pat" McMurtry, was stepping into the ring at Madison Square Garden to square off against Canadian heavyweight champion George Chuvalo. Everybody in town was tuned in to watch the fight on television. This was Pat's chance at the big time and the longed-for title shot against world heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson. It was Tacoma's chance at the big time as well because there had never been a local sports hero to compare with Pat McMurtry. Pat was truly Tacoma's own—a blue-collar kid and former marine with looks, personality, and thunder in his fists. He was arguably one of the most talented amateur fighters to ever enter the squared circle, and after he turned professional his fans believed he was sure to go up against Patterson. No one—the president, Willie Mays, Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe—got as much ink, local press, and media coverage as Pat.
