THE BOXING JOURNEY

LOST ON THE BOXING HIGHWAY: by brian zelley

The Introduction

Each person that gets involved in the sport of amateur boxing has their own 

journey.  Some roads are long and winding, while others short and straight.

Over the last several years, I have attempted to document a wide variety of 

boxing stories about the people, the places, the clubs, the tournaments and

other related topics.  

The objective of this BOXING HIGHWAY site is to try and take it back

to the beginning for tournaments and clubs with the many names as best

as possible.

There are many sites to get back up stores but they range from clubs,
to club show, tournaments and other happenings.

THE LINKS TO SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS:

http://my.nowpublic.com/sports/b-c-boxing-news-flashbacks-and-memories

The above link takes us back

to 1983, and how the idea

of a Boxing News that would

not only cover the happenings

of the day, but take us back

through Flashbacks and

Golden Memories outlined

in various degrees of 

detail.  

i do not believe there was

any other amateur boxing

publication that provided 

so much detail of current

events and flashbacks to

remember so much of

what happened in past

decades.  

This blog "Lost On The Boxing Highway" will attempt

to re-produce the stories and add to the detail as 

well as can be done.

LINKS: COACHES and OFFICIALS

Without coaches and officials there can be no boxing,
so the first story on November 20, 2009 lists some
of the officials and coaches from the likes of Walter Austin,
and Leif Albrechtsen to Billy Watson, Ron Whalley and 
Jeff Yule.

*The December 24, 2010 post had an extended list with
more names such as Dave Brown, Rick Brough, Jim Gallagher,
Joe Preston, Gary Wallace and Tommy Yule.
