28. Some of the greatest fights

from the standpoint of heart are the Golden Gloves and Chicago Park District Boxing. Young guys maybe in their first couple of fights giving it everything they have and their pals right there to cheer them on. Great stuff. I remember going to the Eagles Club in Milwaukee on a weeknight to see them. Great referee I saw in one fight. Two young kids headgear and big gloves but still a punch is a punch. One kid hit the other with a hard right to the head and the ref immediately saw the kid was gone but just hadn't fallen. He jumped in before another blow could land and wrapped his arms around the kid to keep him from falling. Great ref to be so on top of things. The kid regained himself a little and his corner came to walk him back and both those kids and the ref got a huge round of applause. Too many refs today let things go too far.
