Sam Baroudi (born Sammy Crandall, August 29, 1926 – February 21, 1948)[1] was a professional American boxer in the middleweight division.[2]
Boxing career
[edit]Baroudi fought his first professional fight on May 15, 1945 in the Meadowbrook Bowl in Newark, New Jersey, winning against Jimmy Picollo by knockout in the first round.[1][3] Over the next two years his record was 35 wins, 7 losses, and two draws.[1] On August 15, 1947, in his 44th fight, Baroudi fought Newton Smith, knocking Smith out in the ninth round.[1] Smith never regained consciousness and later died in the hospital.[2][4][3] Baroudi lost his next fight on points, but started another winning streak. Until his last fight, Baroudi never went down in 52 fights.
Death
[edit]On February 20, 1948, Baroudi fought in Chicago against future world heavyweight champion Ezzard Charles.[5][3] In the tenth round, Charles knocked out Baroudi, and like his fight with Newton Smith six months earlier, Baroudi never regained consciousness, succumbing to a brain hemorrhage at the hospital a few hours later.[6] Charles was so shaken by the young fighter’s death that he considered ending his boxing career, but Baroudi's family convinced Charles to continue fighting.[7][8]
