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 here sometimes - a friend of mine called seymour - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4wSvphrwRE }...and of course our friend burt...these memories are gold-dust to listen to or read. here's another from a book of old newspaper reports i have, this was a book given to me as a present for my 40th...its made up of original newspaper reports from 1910 to 2010 from the mirror newspaper..and theres some real gold in it......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...hopefully the text can be read ok... http://i.imgur.com/SSkQlWt.jpg
