Started looking into Troiano and his story starts back in 1934 actually. Interesting start some of what I've found. Here's some bio info on Troiano and the beginning of his career in the US with his first two fights. first fight against a Chris de Rosa, Boxrec presents de Rosa as DeRossier? Have not found where that's come from. A little look into Chris found accounts spelling it as DeRosier but also De Rosa also back in 1930 with his first fight account. All just more name spelling confusion!

Some initial Troiano info thought you'd find interesting....

Date of Death: 1992-07-08 (Age: 82) listed in BoxRec.
Find a Grave Places his Date of Birth as Dec 13, 1909
Notes his full name as: Vincenzo Nicolo "Vincent" Troiano
A picture of his Burial stone shows Vincent N. 1909-1992 and Lucri Nappy 1912-1983
There is also a photo of Vincenzo showing him full length in his boxing garb and has some gentleman in a suit standing next to him. This photo, there is the headshot posted on BoxRec, guessing came from this photo?

Will be getting Troiano done I hope soon to then post complete record.
Stream lining these posts removing all the bio info I end up putting in the fighters file. shorten the length of his thread that I felt was getting TO LONG for anyone to delve through!
