    Thats crazy you said that, I live in Brookline and used to box at Chucks gym at the Rec center in Brookline. Yes, the gym in Brookline is still open. I sparred a couple times up in Carrick before they closed it in 07, Gruber let me work with some of his guys that were entering the "Golden Gloves" a few years back.:good

    ..Hey Punisher .jsut thought I would share this..it still makes me laugh...my friend who boxed, horriblly, but boxed, at the brookline facitlity..he met Michael Moorer once with me..i sold a Security System to MM's neighbor and he was back home wreaking havoc on the neighborhood, his neighbor found out I was a fan, gave me a MM tshirt and took me outside to meet him...my buddy came along because we went to the "Sports garden" sfterward..he was waiting in the car and when he saw him (I was waving to him in the car for like 3 minutes..dude was dumb) I swear he caught wood. Anywhoo...he was convinced that MM would beat Tyson....it used to make me so mad..I mean..he was sure of it....Tua/Moorer comes to mind when I think of this potential matchup....

    Yeah I hear you on that, I have a feeling that Carricks boxing gym is going to be replaced by a fighting league/MMA type fighting gym of some sort. Peters twp is a nice as neighborhood, I'm sure there's not many Boxing gyms out there.:yep

    Shane would kill Kimbo to the body and stop him. Shane by KO.

    No..not a one...lot of plastic surgery places, Chiropractors and Pillottis studios, however :? I hope that MMA stuff passes...they jsut dont convey the respect to one another and the sport that Boxing does. i mean...boxers i knew...all classy...would share stories, encourage me, bring tapes back from the fights..these MMA guys shave there heads but leave the sideburns, ride to Walmart in a pickup with their shirt off and vinyl marks on their back..and look to start trouble....

    Interesting story, I met Moorer awhile back in Brookine, he came out to help us with our training, it was probably 98-99, he was a nice a guy and seemed to really enjoy explaining to us different combinations and short stories he had. I dont know if he could of took Tyson or not at the time, but when he hit the punching bag, it sounded like a shotgun was going off in the gym, every time time he threw a left hook, my respect professional boxers grew after that day. I went to a couple MMA fight league tournaments with my friends, none of these guys I seen could of kept fighting after being hit by a punch at the hands of Moorer, the mans one punch power was unbelievable.

    Yeah, I watched alot of my dad's old tapes that had him fighting different fighters on "Tuesday Night Fights", it's a shame there's not more Boxing programs on anymore, instaed there being replaced by MMA type leagues and what not. Moorer was very underrated and will unfortunately be remembered most for his knockout lose against Foreman. I just hope the MMA bubble busts soon, if not Boxing may become shown less and less on TV, which seems to be already happening regarding the Heavyweight division.
