Counterpunch

Danny Dugronski has been a fighter all his life. As an orphan at St. Vincent's Asylum for Boys, he first learned the "sweet science" of boxing from Father Tim, the battling priest. And then the Marine Corps. taught him far more lethal tactics before shipping him off to do battle in the hell of the South Pacific. But now, with WWII over, Danny "The Duke" has returned home and earned a respectable ranking as a regional heavyweight in the Milwaukee area. But his record, free of KO losses, is jeopardized by a mob front man who tries to push him into a series of rigged fights. When Danny refuses, hard push comes to dedly shove and he must call upon all his fighting skills to stand his ground. And when Canny comes out swinging, he's determined to put the mob down for the count.
