  • Boxing Insider
    Boxing Insider By Mike Greenhill The history of organized crime in America's 20th century, and in New York City in particular, has been well chronicled. Movies, books and television have brought the mobster to life, both to glorify his deeds as well as to revile them. The connection between gangsters and boxing, nearly non-existent now, was much larger in scope in the first half of the 20th century. It is against this backdrop that author Ron Ross has penned his second boxing work, "Bummy Davis and Murder, Inc.: The Rise and Fall of the Jewish Mafia and an Ill-Fated Prizefighter." This is much more than a boxing book. In an attempt to accurately describe Depression- era life and the characters of Brooklyn, New York (and its Brownsville section in particular), Ross has succeeded marvelously. The story is centered around the short but fascinating life of lightweight contender Al 'Bummy' Davis (born Albert Davidoff) and his friends, relatives and enemies that pervaded the mostly Jewish neighborhood of Brooklyn known as Brownsville. Though known today as the African-American ghetto that spawned Mike Tyson, Riddick Bowe and Shannon Briggs, this area before World War II was primarily Jewish, and a place where Hebrew and Yiddish were spoken as just as often as English. Ross deftly captures the atmosphere of this time and place with dialogue written in Runyonesque style, dripping with phrases and syntax reminiscent of the Bowery Boys, Chester Reilly or any "film noir" movies about boxing, New York or both. The era has also been covered well in some of the films of Woody Allen and Neil Simon, but Ross's characters were real, and life was more pessimistic and dangerous.
