It was 1934 in one of the poorer boroughs of New York.  Sam was 20 and still in that rebellious stage.  He had taken up boxing against his parents wishes.  The day before his big fight his coach was giving him a few last min. pointers for the big match.   Sam was cocky and was only half paying attention because his mind was already day dreaming of the glory if he won.  On the night of the fight it came down to the last round but in the end Sam won by a lucky punch.
