  • Myrrh NPR I129 This Newsletter Is Dedicated to the Nucry of Jim
    International Boxing Research Organization Myrrh NPR i129 This newsletter is dedicated to the nucry of Jim Jacobs, who was not only a personal friend, but a friend to all boxing his- torians. Goodbye, Jim, I'll miss you. From: Tim Leone As the walrus said, "The time has come to talk of many things". This publication marks the 6th IBRO newsletter which has been printed since John Grasso's departure. I would like to go on record by saying that I have enjoyed every minute. The correspondence and phone conversations I have with various members have been satisfing beyond words. However, as many of you know, the entire financial responsibility has been paid in total by yours truly. The funds which are on deposit from previous membership cues have never been forwarded. Only four have sent any money to cover membership dues. To date, I have spent over $6,000.00 on postage, printing, & envelopes. There have also been a quantity of issues sent to prospective new members, various professional groups, and some newspapers.I have not requested, nor am I asking or expecting any re-embursement. The pleasure has been mine. However; the members have now received all the issues that their dues (sent almost two years ago) paid for. I feel the time is prudent to request new membership dues to off-set future expenses. After speaking with various members, and taking into consideration the post office increase April 1, 1988, a sum of $20.00, although low to the point of barely breaking even, should be asked for.

  • Boxing, Masculinity and Identity
    Boxing, Masculinity and Identity Boxing, with its extremes of violence and beauty, discipline and excess, has always been a source of inspiration for writers and filmmakers. Permeated by ideas of masculinity, power, ‘race’ and social class, boxing is an ideal site for the exploration of key contemporary themes in the social sciences. Boxing, Masculinity and Identity: The ‘I’ of the Tiger explores the changing sociology of identity – especially gender identity and the meaning of masculinity – through the sport and art of boxing. Drawing on ethnographic research as well as material from film, literature and journalism, the book takes in the broad cultural and social terrain of boxing. It considers the experience and understanding of: • Masculinity and gendered identities. • Physical embodiment: mind, body and the construction of identity. • Spectacle and performance: links between public and personal social worlds. • Boxing on film: the role of cultural representation and spectatorship. • Methodologies: issues of authenticity and ‘reality’ in the social sciences. Boxing, Masculinity and Identity will be of great interest to those following courses in sociology, sport, gender studies and cultural studies. Kath Woodward is Senior Lecturer in Sociology at the Open University, UK, and a member of the Economic and Social Research Council’s Centre for Research on Socio-Cultural Change (CRESC).

Moore: Jack Dempsey in Tampa: Sports and Boosterism in the 1920s JACK DEMPSEY IN TAMPA: SPORTS AND BOOSTERISM IN THE 1920s by Jack Moore On Wednesday afternoon February 4, 1926, heavyweight champion of the world William Harrison “Jack” Dempsey fought seven rounds of exhibition matches with four opponents in an outdoor ring specially constructed on the property of real estate developer B.L. Hamner in what is now the Forest Hills section of Tampa. None of the estimated crowd of 10,000 paid a cent to see the famous conqueror of Jess Willard, Georges Carpentier, Luis Angel Firpo (“The Wild Bull of the Pampas”), and Tommy Gibbons demonstrate some of the skills and spectacular personal appeal that had made him one of the era’s greatest sports heroes. With the passage of time Dempsey would become an authentic legend, a sports immortal. Three other legendary sports’ heroes, Harold “Red” Grange, Jim Thorpe, and Babe Ruth also visited Tampa around the time of Dempsey’s appearance.

It's practically certain that the truckman would be knocked unconscious. He might die of brain concussion or a broken neck. Even an innocent little baby can become a dangerous missile WHEN ITS BODY-WEIGHT IS SET INTO FAST MOTION.

  • Episode 3, Dempsey Fight Bell, Reno, Nevada and New York City Tukufu Zuberi
    Episode 3, Dempsey Fight Bell, Reno, Nevada and New York City Tukufu Zuberi: Next, the bell that may have rung in a golden era in American sports. It's the Roaring 20s and America is increasingly infatuated with movie stars and celebrities. One sporting star soars onto the celebrity stage – Jack Dempsey, heavyweight boxing champion of the world. It is Dempsey who helps launch our national obsession with professional sports. And it all began with the clang of a bell. Now Guy Clifton of Reno, Nevada, believes he's come across the very bell that helped ring in the golden age of sports in America. Guy Clifton: A friend of mine said that, well, have you seen the Dempsey-Willard bell hanging down in Jake's Place? When I first saw it I thought, holy cow, could this really be real? Tukufu: I'm Tukufu Zuberi. I'm meeting up with Guy to see what's he got. Guy: Well, here it is. Tukufu: Alright. July 4 th , 1919, Toledo, Ohio. Jack Dempsey-Jess Willard. What do you know about that fight? Guy: Well, this is the fight when Jack Dempsey won the heavyweight championship of the world. Tukufu: Alright. So that would make this bell a pretty big deal. Guy: It sure would. Tukufu: Does the bell work? Guy: It does. [Clangs bell] Tukufu: Now, that sounds just like the bell when you're sitting at ringside, right? Guy: It sure does. Tukufu: Now what is your question for me? Guy: I want to know if it's really the bell from the Dempsey-Willard fight.
