there are great articles in old magazines that have just become lost in time, they simply dont write about what goes on outside the ring anymore....ie..i was reading an old magazine article about tommy hurricane jackson lying naked in his dressing room after eddie machan fight, on his back and crying like a baby...the article describes it as the moment the reality of it all being over dawned on him and he broke down....you dont read reports that have that detail any more...
and folks who were there to describe first hand expierences of those fights are becoming fewer and fewer...{see the man in the youtube videos i post - seymour}...these memories are gold-dust and it'll be tragic for them to be lost..

here's another from a book of old newspaper reports i have....i have posted this here before...but, this is the kind of thing i am talking about...the detail in how robinson felt physically here...

Very few journalists left....just go turn on your TV and you will see why.
