To my family, my mother Belen and father Jose who have given me the love and support I needed during my academic career. Their efforts to raise a good man motivates me every day. To my sister Diana, who has grown to be a smart and incredible young woman.

  • International Boxing Research Organization Newsletter #26 September 1987
    International Boxing Research Organization Newsletter #26 September 1987 From: Tim Leone Sorry about being a week late on the last Newsletter, but I broke another copyer and it was necessary to have the copy work done by a printing company. To date there has been a total of 90,000 feet of 8mm and S8mm requested for transfer, about 8,000 feet of 16mm and 58 hours of VHS duplication requested. I'm surprised that Castle Films is no longer in business. Again, I must express gratitude to those members who took time to write and phone their encourgement over the resumption of the Newsletter. The organization is a joint venture involving all of us. Without the support of the membership, none of this would be possible. -- Long Live Boxing -- I am involved in doing research in the pre-1932 years of the career of Tiger Jack Fox. At the moment there are numerous verifications of main event matches between the years of 1925 and 1932 for him. Any additional information would be greatly appreciated. In this Newsletter, Thanks must go to the following gentlemen for their contributions: Tracy Callis, Dave Block, Paul Zabala, Bob Soderman, Lawrence Fielding, John Grasso, John Hibner, and Lucketta Davis. 1 V-1 E I F ID I FzECTOFt "V F" 1J A E NEW MEMBERS Jack Barry 33 Skyline Drive West Haven, CT 06516 Phone (203) 933-6651 Mr. Barry is interested in professional boxing from the bareknuckle era to 1959 in the U.S.A.

Hsu Michele B. Reid To Billy Geoghegan, my cornerman Copyright by Anju Nandlal Reejhsinghani 2009 Acknowledgments This project had its origins in January 2001, when – during a two-week trip to Havana and Matanzas as part of a U.S.-Cuba writers’ conference – I was in training for a series of amateur boxing tournaments back home.

My regimen, all the more unusual for its having been carried out by a woman, came to the attention of a Havana sports journalist, Martín Hacthoun, and led to his invitation to profile me for some of the national newspapers.
