Won title 1 rd-lost title 1rd.Why waste time?

I held a world title by koing the champion in one round..Short time later I
was also ko'd in the first rd and lost my title...Get it over with I say!
Who was I ?

SINGER

McV, you beat me by seconds. Am i destined never to get one right first?

 

you're smarter than me fellas....it hurts sometimes...

jimmy mcclaren beat young corbett in the 1st round to win the welterweight title, right ?...but who did corbett win it from?...wondering if it was a one round win...

 

:good

You betcha,M, al Singer it is..i never got out of the first round either.
Singer won the lightweight title from sammy Mandell July,1930 and a
short time later he was also kod in the first round by the great Tony
Canzoneri,Nov.,1930...New yorkers at the time thought he was the "new" Benny Leonard,as was Ruby Goldstein, but Benny Leonard was one of a kind, and they broke the mould for Leonard.:good

 

There's a cracking good fight writer, Jake Donovan, who's grandad was Al Singer's sparring partner.

 

First time I've beat the crowd myself. :hey

 

git.i've only just switched on(her fault)
