Lost on the boxing highway

Through my eyes by Brian Zelley

The above photo is symbolic

but real.

Two worlds that are far apart

never to be joined

The boxing world

vs

Education

and being a

professional accountant

* the following video tells a blended story
 starting in  1963. It covers boxing 
moments including support for the
"British Columbia Amateur Boxing
Hall of Fame" that was talked about
in 1984, but it remained 
"lost on the the boxing highway" 
until it became a reality in 2010.





Who can say if the Hall of Fame is a
good idea, but it does appear to please many.

Ringside BC, the eighties

BC Amateur Boxing -"the Eighties"

* the video includes some if the eightie personalities, 
but there were many more as boxers, coaches
and ring officials.
