Bruce Strauss Biography

Bruce Strauss is one of the most popular and richest Boxer who was born on February 6, 1952 in Omaha, Nebraska, United States. Bruce Strauss (born February 6 1952, in Omaha, Nebraska) is an American retired boxer, more famous for his losses rather than his victories. He is known as The Mouse or simply Mouse. The Mouse gained fame in the 1970s and 1980s due to being a fighter, and losing, generally to a range of adversaries, while being known for his jovial, easygoing persona. His life was portrayed in the highly- rated 1997 comedy movie The Mouse, in which the character was played by actor John Savage.

He once said that the reason his fights and losses weren’t in Antarctica was because he hated being cold. In the 1990 Kayo boxing set the boxer posed on the canvas, wearing dark make-up covering his eyes while he clung to a rope for a ring. As previously mentioned that he sometimes used his alias “Ruben Bardot” to obtain fights.

A 1997 article in The New York Times described Strauss as a “tireless but inept ‘professional opponent'”, while also comparing him to “the stock caricature of the cuddly loudmouthed palooka.” The newspaper also stated, “For Bruce, losing isn’t just a reliable way of make a living, it’s his personal philosophy.” Strauss has declared that most of his matches weren’t done in his own name, having fought (and mostly lost) more than three hundred times in his long career in his estimation.

His last fight in the ring was a six-round victory against Terry Jesmer on November 24 1989. The fight took place at Bismarck, North Dakota inside the city’s Civic Center.

It’s not clear if Strauss really was knocked out in a fight at Australia as well as Asia with the “Ruben Bardot” alias.

Generally , a middleweight with an “colorful” fighting style, Strauss started his career July 1, 1976, with the victory in a four-round split decision against Gary Maize (also listed as “Gary Maiza”) in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He estimates that he’s fought more than 300 times throughout his career and most of the fights took place by using aliases and other methods of subterfuge to circumvent rules. His lengthy career saw him travel to several continents and saw him face many opponents.

In 1997, a movie was released based on his career entitled The Mouse, in which actor John Savage portrayed him. Written and directed by Dan Adams, the comedy-drama film also starred actress Angelica Torn as Mary Lou Strauss, the Mouse’s wife. The movie received praise from publications such as The New York Times. Also featuring comedian Rip Torn, the film featured a number of cameo appearances from well-known boxers such as Randall “Tex” Cobb, Ray Mancini, Vito Antuofermo, and Sean O’Grady.
