-* Mustafa Hamsho (Second Hagler Fight)
+'''Al Certo''' was born September 28, 1928 in Hoboken, NJ, and was delivered by a midwife named Dolly Sinatra, who was the mother of singer [[Frank Sinatra]]. One of 13 children, Certo grew up on 519 Monroe Street in Hoboken, a block away from the household of Frank Sinatra. Certo’s father, who went by the name of Al Cosley, was a well-known bandleader who often played at political meetings hosted by Sinatra’s mother.
-New Jersey BHOF [http://www.njboxinghof.org/cgi-bin/henryseehof.pl?151]
+Before boxing caught his attention at age 19, Certo had another form of footwork in mind. “I never wanted to be a fighter. I wanted to be a dancer,” said Certo, who grew up idolizing Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire.
-[[Category:Trainers|Certo, Al]]
+Certo was undefeated as an amateur, winning the 135-pound New Jersey Golden Gloves title, according to his bio in the NJ Boxing Hall of Fame, and turned pro in 1953 under his birth name Al Certisimo. Certo went 9-1 (4 knockouts) in just under a year as a junior welterweight, fighting at the long-gone venues Laurel Garden and St. Nicholas Arena until, the HOF writes, “Certo’s career was cut short when he cut his hand with a saw while helping his brother remodel a car wash.”
