  • Rossman is a forgotten champion from an era of great fighters. His career never really blossomed, but for this one night he was without question the best LH in the world.

  • Still, the perfect fight by Michael!

  • . . . Mike Rossman is a total jackoff . . . THE END

  • I still get chills watching the 13th round.

    Notice the first person Michaels hugs is Slim Jim Robinson.

    He deserves so much credit for perfecting the fight plan that lead Michael

    to the 175lb title.

    Very underrated trainer and great person.

  • Michael blamed everyone except himself at the end of his career, including

    his "father" & Slim Jim Robinson, who went on to success with Eddie Mustafa.

    The loss to Ronquello & Yaqui Lopez, & Galindez rematch was Mike's fault.

    He shoulda' demo'd Ronquello, TKO'd Lopez, and after the Traversaro fight, had

    Russell Peltz negotiate for Rossman/Ali, and forgotten about Galindez II (loss).

    Michael told himself he would never be knocked down or out, Capuano I

    showed something was already wrong.

  • Been a bunch of Jewish fighters, most changed the names to avoid

    parents realizing who they really were.

    Max Baer was not Jewish, promotional tactic to build gate against the faded

    (still GREAT) Max Schmeling.

    Goldstein, Atell, Leonard, Sabdiel (Jab) Judah, Ross,Rosenblatt,Foreman (Yuri),

    along with Rossman were the more known of many, including Bobby Halpern.

    These things run in cycles, look at today's fighters, less black fighters, more

    european fighters.

  • Yeah, I forgot that Bogner was a Jew.

  • was this the prelim fight before the Ali Inoke circus ?

  • @slyme1711 No, it was one of the prelims to the Ali Spinks rematch in the Louisana Superdome......

  • We loved you Michael.

    I jumped 3 ft in the air when you stopped

    the SOB in the 13th, inspired me to follow

    your footsteps in boxing.

    Why'd you have to talk smack about your

    yiddish breathren?

  • @mrjoshjones1

    What are you refering to "talk smack about your Jewish brethren"?

  • @xxbingo

    After Michael lost the title, finally retiring shortly after the Capuano fights and the KO by Braxton (Qawi),

    he allowed an interview with KO magazine, I used to keep the article on my wall, (I forget the writer).

    I wanted to follow in his shoes, sadly, he wrote (when reminded how Jewish folks supported him),

    "F___ the jews, what did they do for me, make me any money??"

    This after people like a young Steve Farhood (non-jew) at RIng "blessed" every move!

    Mike showed true colors.

  • A great finish and a masterful job of boxing by the young Rossman. I remember the fight well and it was great to relive it. Thanks JKDT

  • @calientea2003l I remember the exhilaration I felt watching this fight. Everybody said it was because Galindez was shot, but Rossman showed a beautiful jab that night. I was fighting amateur as a lightweight. I'm a Jew. Ain't too many Jewish fighters over the last 80 years. Go Jewboys! Plus I think Mikes mom was Jewish, the father Italian. The lineage is maternal. Anyway, smart move to fight with the Star on your trunks.

  • @bodypro8 Galindez wasn't shot, he was beaten by a better fighter that night. I remember earlier on in the fight when Rossman tagged him with a long straight right, the commentators remarked how surprised Galindez was with the length of the punch. It set the pace for the rest of the fight.

    Funny, I was boxing amateur as well then, a welterweight and never missed the great fights then. Man those were the days!!

  • @alan11855 I remember now. Rossman won his title on the undercard of Ali/Spinks 2. Which was not too memorable, unless you were a rabid Ali fan. I thought that was a pathetic fight. Oh, well. I mean excuse me but...

  • @bodypro8 Abe Attell, I think; Barney Ross was Jewish. Max Baer (half Jewish, I think, Jewish father); Kenny Bang Bang Bogner, lightweight in the '80s. And the new guy, Dimitri, from Ukraine, welterweight. Art Lasky, heavyweight in the 1930s.
