Listen if you're a street guy your whole life your going to lose a couple fights along the way. Shit happens it doesn't make you any less of a man but its your response that people will watch for. If its a made guy and you're not you gotta take it in stride.
Nino Gaggi caught some neighborhood teens whistling at his sister in law, and retrieved a hammer to go teach the kids a lesson. One of the kids, a golden gloves boxer, ducked Gaggi’s hammer swing and knocked him out clean with a left hook, breaking his nose. This is like ‘75, ‘76, when Gaggi was a captain. Picture that—a freaking 17, 18 year old kid knocking out a Gambino captain with one punch in front of the whole neighborhood. They kid fled town for Florida for several months. He eventually came back and Gaggi and DeMeo killed the kid like 16 months later. Took a couple tries but they got him.
I’ve heard that story a bunch of times. First time though that I heard he was just a kid. Dominick Montiglio said he grew up with ‘Vinny Mook’ and at that time Dominick was nearly 30 years old.
