  • Corey Joseph Montague When Detroit Had Had the Superbad! in the 70S, 80S, and 90S
    Corey Joseph Montague When Detroit Had Had the Superbad! In the 70s, 80s, and 90s. When Detroit had the World Boxing Association (WBA) on LOCKDOWN! We had profoundly talented prize fghters at Kronk’s Gym like Steve McCrory, Donald Curry, Caveman Lee, Ricky Womack, Kevin Whaley—Qué El—and Tomas “Hitman” Hearns, just to name a few. Detroit had some super Badddd Boys! But the game would be remiss if it didn’t at least pay homage to a local fallen star. One whose light shined brightly, but ever so briefy. Minus the glitz and glamour of this boxer’s alcoholic life. Tis is the sad but very true story of Arthur Bernard “Superbad” Mays, 1960-1994. Superbad was born to Victoria Mays and Prince Milton. In the late 70s, Warren Avenue was the boulevard of inquities. As a teen on the Numbers Streets of Detroit’s Southwest side, he survived of government cheese, low poverty, and high crime. Replete with gang violence, drug- infested neighborhoods, pimps, whores slamming Cadillac doors, stuck- up kids and con artists selling slim jewelry. Te black culture is still used to phases like “Gimme some skin” or “Gimme fve on the black hand side,” “Jive turkey,” and “Sho’ you right!” Where the latest styles were Afro hairdos, bell-bottom pants, and platform shoes, and screaming, “Black Power!” A pubescent Bernard and his friends Eric Williams and Collier Blunt would skip school to stand in front of a liquor store, panhandling customers for loose change while catcalling at neighborhood young girls on their way to school.
