   Heavyweight boxer Billy Miske climbed out of what people said was his deathbed for one last fight so he could give his family the Christmas they never had. Billy went four rounds with one of the toughest fighters of his day, KO Bill Brennan, then used his purse to buy his family the most incredible holiday gifts they'd ever seen. The next day, having given his family a wonderful Christmas and left them a nice nest egg, Billy died. The miracle of the story? Billy didn't just last four rounds with KO Bill Brennan -- he knocked him out!
