    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.
