Your dad was a quality operator - and tough, too.

this is my Dad birth name Roscoe J. Sciuit
boxing name Bruno Lijoi
birth may 31 1931
Brooklin
him and Mom are still with us
after leving the ring he went to work for Bordens milk retiring from the milk compay he opened a bar for 5 years and started his oil company "roscoe's fuel" wich he still has and my bother runs today
he has 4 kids 3 boys and one daughter
he has 12 grand kids and 3 grant grand kids
living on long island since 1958

WOW. Would love to pick his brain about being on same card as Kid Gavilan, Holman Williams etc.....

ya pop new them all use to go out with them even hung with Jake LaMotta

he fought in the old garden and then the new garden but Mom did not want him fighting any more after they got marred so he stopped for her. I asked if he ever regretted it he said nope he enjoys being with mom more then he did the ring

I love this site, sometimes.

Great stuff!
Those were the days when guys like your Dad fought all those 4,6,and 8 rounders coming up. They were learning the craft the right way.
Also fighting in those smaller clubs that used to be all over New York like The ridge wood grove arena etc.
Days of yore for the fight game no question.

I see he fought Eddie Chavez; who was a top ten lightweight contender in the early '50s

Thanks for all the information. Did your father start out under someone else's licence or is there another reason that he fought as Bruno Lijoi? I also changed your father's surname to Sciuti, as I presumed Sciuit was a typo.

SCIUTI is the right spelling thank you for all you did .

He stared boxing at 16 so he took a birth certifiable for one of the kids he new that was 18 "Bruno Lijoi" that is why he was boxing with that name.

Now this remains a sure fire method to retain discipline on the home front. However it appears society prefers families with "two moms" these days.

Ok....I'm kidding....kinda....sorta.....and not completely. Know what I mean? I mean, a nearly grown son raises a fist to his father......to me this is clearly a "teachable moment" as the politically correct like to call it. Your father acted sensibly IMHO...(as long as that is the gist of the story and it goes no darker with further context).

Don't point a gun unless you intend to engage.....same goes with a raised fist IMHO.

Gotta love it when stuff like this happens, hopefully some fight footage will turn up

very strong solidity and power in those legs

I strongly feel the young fella should have reported him to the authorities for child abuse, assault and battery, and probably a host of other things rather than accepting that he copped what he perhaps deserved. p.s my name is Tarquin and I am a dickhead
