Me: Marv, pal, how’s it going?

MMH: You know I beat Ray Leonard.

Me: Yes, Marv, we’ve been over this.

MMH: I clearly deserved the decision.

Me: *sigh*

MMH: Let’s watch it again. I’ll show you how I won all those rounds.

Me: I’d love to Marv, but I need to mow the grass. Maybe some other time.

IIRC, Archie was supposed to box an exhibition with George Reeves, the actor who played Superman on the TV show, the weekend that Reeves committed suicide. It was a charity deal for Archie’s ABC clubs I think. He and George had become friends — I think Reeves was a big fight fan.

EDIT: Found an account of this planned exhibition: https://boxrec.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=102913
