An engrossing portrait of the maligned legend of Jewish prizefighter Al "Bummy" Davis. A tough kid with heart of gold, Al "Bummy" Davis grew up during the 1920's and 30's on the streets of Brownsville, New York, on the fringes of the Jewish mob. As much as he resisted the underworld of Murder, Inc. (one of American history's most notorious band of killers) by becoming a championship fighter and Brownsville hero, he never escaped the Jewish mob's shadow.  Not just the biography of one boxer, but this is an intense personal story intertwined with the Great Depression, a cryptic Jewish subculture and the survival of the Brooklyn Jewish immigrant population during Prohibition.
