	Tommy Burns: Hard Luck Champion
		Tommy Burns was the heavyweight champion of the world in an era that could reasonably identify the rightful king of a division, and there were no alphabet sanctioning bodies.
		Tommy Burns was an Italian, born Noah Brusso in 1881, who took on the fighting alias Tommy Burns to conceal his involvement in boxing from his mother who objected to the brutal give-and-take of the ring.
		Burns had a solid run as champion avenging his loss to Philadelphia Jack O’Brien by first fighting the veteran brawler to a draw to maintain his title and then cleverly outpointing him, winning on points over twenty-rounds to even the score in their trilogy at one win, one draw, and one loss for each man.
