Vintage Boxing Magazine Scans

Thanks mate.

 

• Amazing thread and many thanks for sharing .. terrific stuff .. I actually went out a bought a Jack Johnson book I never even heard of from 1956 based on a 1959 book review of it in one of the magazines ...

 

I've got some 1950's Boxing News for sale, about 6 years or something

and 7 duplicates of 1949/50 British Gladiator Magazine, if anyone is interested.

 

Seems to be the best thread to post this.

This site provides for a number of contemporary newspaper articles re random old time fights of significance.

Where links to the articles haven’t been provided - at least one is provided with the newspaper and date to perhaps successfully chase up those articles for themselves.

Nice resource: -

Hi, found your post on a Internet search, am desperately trying to find the contents of four specific issues of Boxing and Wrestling from 1964 regarding Marty Weill remembering Rocky Marciano.
I am a researcher on Marciano so am keen to obtain the articles.
I don't suppose you have scans covering that year.
Thanks for the opportunity, John.

 

Bump.

 

Thanks a lot, Pug. I'm in Thailand and awake when I should be sleeping because I'm glued to this mag.

 

Ah well New, sometimes when you’ve latched onto a good thing, you’ve just got to say (mispronounce) Phuket.

 

Nice

 

You must be young

Before the internet these were basically the primary way to gain an understanding of the current fight game. Ordering back issues was a way to catch up.

 

You’re right, like renting DVDs it’s just something you’d have to be there for to understand the fun. I guess.

 

I opened the first one you linked and the first thing I saw was a teaser for Moore v. Robinson, which didn't happen.

 

That was bittersweet seeing the piece on Saad Muhammad and the tour of his house = knowing he lost it less than two years later.
