Mike Rossman (born Michael Albert DePiano on July 1, 1955) is an American former professional boxer who won the WBA light heavyweight world title. He is of Jewish–Italian origin, which led to his monikers "The Kosher Butcher" and "The Jewish Bomber". ==Life and career== Rossman was born in Turnersville, New Jersey. His birth name was Michael Albert DePiano; Rossman is his mother's maiden name, which he uses rather than that of his father as part of an appeasement agreement.' Rossman's father was Italian, and his mother Jewish. He began boxing at 14 and turned pro on August 10, 1973. Rossman fought Victor Galindez for the light heavyweight championship of the world on the undercard of an Ali-Spinks rematch in September 1978. Many thought Galindez would defeat him, but Rossman opened up cuts over Galindez's eyes and continued fighting until near the end of the 13th round, when the referee stopped the fight, and Rossman became world champion. Rossman made one successful defense before his hometown Philadelphia fans in December of the same year, stopping Italian challenger Aldo Traversaro in the fifth round after opening a wound on Aldo's forehead with a left hook. Later, after losing the title back to Galindez in 1979 (see below), his career declined as he lost several matches; he never again fought a title match. He fought into the early 1980s, and perhaps the biggest name he faced in post-championship status was the upstart Dwight Braxton (today known as Dwight Muhammad Qawi), who defeated him in seven rounds in May 1981. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mike Rossman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
