What's this?

I got 2 pair of 7 ouncers, I think in '71. Really laid a wallop. Boxing


was big at (my) McKinley Elementary (Arlington) for a brief widow of time back then. Our gym teacher, Mr. Clark, took it upon himself to organize it, ya know, to keep it safe or something. But the higher ups pulled the plug on the whole show after about 3 or 4 fights. Sooo...it immediately went underground at secret locations, announced an hour before fight time. And of course, there was an added quarter spectator charge, for the promoter and his "staff".

Ahhh...(sniff)...walking down memory lane, to classic Americana gets me every time.
