Sinossi

While many of his peers began their careers as farmers and factory workers, Leo Florian Houck became a boxing sensation at age 14, enabling him to support his mother and six siblings after his father s death. Houck s career really took off in 1911 with a 20 round victory over world-class welterweight Harry Lewis in Paris. During 1913 Leo became the leading middleweight contender in America. This biography details Houck s early years in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, his long career in the ring including 200 fights and his 27 years as Penn State s legendary boxing coach.
