Description

IT WAS JAN. 30, 1936, IN PHILADELPHIA when Tootsie Bashara, a 21-year-old boxer from Norfolk, let his guard down in the first round and his opponent, world lightweight champ Tony Canzoneri, landed a vicious right uppercut . Bashara dropped to the canvas and stayed down for a nine-count. Then, in the third round, after a hard left jab opened a cut in Bashara's eye, the fight and the dazzling boxing career of the "jawbreaker" from Lambert s Point were over.
