B,slight correction. You state above that Canzoneri "took out Ambers in three"
but all of their THREE bouts between Canzi and Ambers were 15 round decision bouts, with Ambers taking 2 from the aging Canzoneri.
Lest we forget :One year later after their first bout,on Nov 24,1933, Tony Canzoneri knocked out Kid Chocolate in two rounds..
One other point: Tony Canzoneri had 175 fights, and was kod only ONCE,in
his last fight against a murderous puncher,Al Davis, who Tony would g=have played with ,when in his prime. My dad saw that bout in1939,and he told me
many hard-bitten boxing fans were crying. So popular was Canzi...

Yes, I mixed Ambers up with Berg.

Well, shortly after that fight the coke and partying got to the Kid and finished his prime pretty fast. Sadly.

If I would have been there I´d probably cried too. One of my fav fighters Tony is. :thumbsup

Anyone else a big fan? Great fighters, great mesh of styles. There's a little bit of everything here, some good punching, some slick and crafty movement from both guys, skill and guts.

Did anyone else think Chocolate won this fight, BTW?
