Luigi Giuseppe d\'Ambrosio, aka Lou Ambers, was a lightweight boxer who fought from 1932 to 1941.
Managed by Al Weill and trained by Charley Goldman, the \"Herkimer Hurricane\", as he was known, began his career losing only once in more than three years when he faced future hall of fame lightweight champion Tony Canzoneri on May 10, 1935. Canzoneri defeated him over 15 rounds on a decision. Ambers did not let the defeat discourage him. He won his next 15 fights and gained revenge when he captured the lightweight championship by decisioning Canzoneri in 15 rounds on September 3, 1936.
