    I agree. Growing up in the 1940s ,I was lucky to have a fight card on every night of the week except Sunday, and the famous Friday night fights in the
    old MSG on 8th Ave and 49-50 St in NYC. My dad and I went most every
    Friday to MSG to see the great fighters of the 1940s, such as SRR, Ike Williams, Beau Jack, Willie Pep, Sandy Saddler, Rocky Graziano, Kid Gavilan, Billy Graham, Jimmy Bivens, Tami Mauriello and dozens of other
    great battle tested warriors of the "golden age of boxing", the great
    1940's....

    I don't want to come across as rude, Burt. But any hints as to how old you are?

    This would be a nice fight however I am not qualified to call it having only seen two or three of either fighters fights.
