Abie Bain
Abie Bain (August 10, 1906 – April 9, 1993) was a rated Jewish Middleweight boxer from Newark, New Jersey. In 1930, he moved up a weight class and challenged Maxie Rosenbloom for the Light Heavyweight Championship of the World in Madison Square Garden, though he lost the bout. During his career as a Middleweight in the 1920s, he was more in his element and competed well against competitive middleweight contenders. In May 1930, Bain was still ranked seventh in the world among Middleweights by ''Ring Magazine'' and stayed in the top ten from May to October of that year. After his retirement from boxing, he had a career in Hollywood. Actor Anthony Quinn patterned the raspy voice and mannerisms of his character Mountain Rivera in Columbia Pictures' 1962 movie ''Requiem for a Heavyweight'' on Bain who worked on the production as an adviser. The film was considered one of America's greatest boxing movies of that era. Early life and boxing career Brought to America as a child, Bai ...
