Bridgeport Brawler

by Jack Tunney, David White (Editor), Paul Bishop (Editor)

Chicago, 1953…Patrick ‘The Hammer’ White – the Bridgeport Brawler – is on top of the world. He is the current heavyweight champion confidently getting ready to defend his crown. All the early training from Father Tim at St Vincent’s orphanage has come full circle, and Pat isn’t figuring on being toppled from the championship mountain anytime soon.

Having seen his shares of ups-and-downs, Pat believes the ‘downs’ are behind him. However, he has forgotten boxing’s dark side. When mob boss Carmen Amello squeezes Pat’s trainer into forcing the champ to take a dive, the ‘downs’ come back with a vengeance.

In the aftermath of disaster, with only bad choices in front of him, the Bridgeport Brawler is going to have to dig deep if he is ever going to hammer his way back to the top…

Bridgeport Brawler is another two-fisted Fight Card tale …

Reviews

[Dave · Rating 5 out of 5]

Bridgeport Brawler is everything you would expect from a Fight Card story. It's filled with play by play boxing and martial arts action. It pits an orphaned underdog against ruthless mobsters and puts his will and independence to the test. The writing here is crisp. Five stars!
