Ring Magazine Ending.

Didn’t Leonard fight a brit called Dave boy Green?

 

Exactly same as me.

 

Yeah, a brutal knock out ended it.

 

Maybe it was so brutal cos Leonard thought that Green was mocking him calling himself boy?

 

You've misunderstood my original post with 'BOY' in it which is probably my fault.The fight either involved a fighter from the southern states or was held there ??
Anyway Leonard and Green became good friends after fight and keep in touch.
Green always speaks of Leonard in glowing terms

 

Sad news ; have a complete run from the 1930s to present day.
Like a good pal knocking on the door every month !
Thankfully my weekly mate Boxing News survives

 

Did you get the Boxing News centenary special ?

 

I still have the replica of the first issue they sent to subscribers. They also used to sell from their book shop. I still have a few photos and books from there.
Reprints of posters, available in the 80’s were great. In the original yellow, red and black colours. I have the Ambers- Jenkins, Louis- Schmeling 2 ones.
Tickets for the latter were from $5.75 to $30 including tax, reserved seats at the Yankee Stadium 8.00 p.m, Wednesday 22 June.

 

Just realised, I didn’t say my post was re’ The Ring!

 

I'd like to get a look at that!

 

Yes I did

 

Ring Magazine has been referred to as The Bible Of Boxing.

 

Minutiae it is, but I couldn’t remember until now where I wrote this to correct it - Ring Magazine was started (established) in 1922, not 1921. How did I mis recall that? Now I can rest easy and sleep…..LOL.

 

They stole Wilfred Benitez’s nickname. /s

 

Lawsuit, Lawsuit. Ha Ha.
