Power in Both Fists And Brains Made Mirabito Unbeatable
Syracuse boxer Salvatore Toots Mirabito dominates college rings with power and brains. He held the Eastern intercollegiate heavyweight title thrice, won the national collegiate crown, and sports a 30 straight college bout streak with 13 knockouts.
