Message: [QUOTE="Eric15, post: 403037, member: 676"] To build on your post, another notable Syracuse fighter was Nick Barone (was a close family friend of ours) who lived a couple doors down from my grandparents in Eastwood for the final 40-50 years of his life. Nick went 11 rounds and ultimately lost to Ezzard Charles for the world Heavyweight title in 1950. It was Charles' first title defense after having defeated Joe Louis.
