In this episode, we check out the life of the man who inspired Sylvester Stallone to write the Rocky character. He came from the streets and loved a bar-room brawl even more than a fight in the ring. In boxing, he was known mainly for two things, being the bloodiest fighter, maybe in boxing history, and getting a shot, out of nowhere, to fight Muhammad Ali, for the heavyweight championship of the world! Life after boxing consisted of life selling liquor, legally, and for a little while, selling cocaine, illegally. A federal investigation brought an end to that, but years later, he's in trouble once more, this time for being involved with memorabilia forgery! Learn more about your ad choices.

An Irish immigrant, a collection agent for crime bosses, a professional boxer, and a prolific gambler, John Morrissey was—if nothing else—an unlikely candidate to become one of the most important figures in the history of American history. John Morrissey, was a two-fisted Irish immigrant who, more than any other man of the age, represented the nefarious links between organized crime, politics, sports, and high finance in America. The loose inspiration behind Leonardo DiCaprio's character in The Gangs of New York , he was an undefeated bare-knuckle prize-fighter, widely recognized as the national champion, as well as a feared gangster and mob boss before either term was coined, rumored leader of the Dead Rabbits street gang, and eventually U.S. Congressman and member of the New York state senate.

In this episode, we take a look at a man who came onto the boxing scene, literally out of nowhere. To the world, he seemingly had no past, but he certainly had a future in fighting. He made it all the way to the national stage before questions arose. Questions like "who is this guy?" because facing a well-known fighter of the time caused his big secret to be exposed, and his world to crumble. Just when you maybe start to feel bad for him, you find out something even more sinister took place which leads to the question of who is Roberto Medina? Learn more about your ad choices.

We tell the odd story of the Haitian-born adopted Canadian fighter who came to another country, as a small child, grew up in foster care, and ran the streets, putting himself in all kinds of dangerous situations. He ended up becoming a world champion boxer, with an exciting, crowd-pleasing style, and a growing fan base. Sounds like the dream, right? Well, there was a very murky past, that people weren't aware of. Like doing time in prison, for absolutely horrific, and downright disgusting crimes! Once it all comes out, no one looks at him the same, despite his winning ways. Finally, his career is ended by a series of punches that puts him in a coma, and makes his survival anything but assured, but the question remains is it a story of retribution for past transgressions or redemption for turning his life around after being on death's door?
