Appetite for boxing still alive in Nanaimo

Appetite for boxing still alive in Nanaimo

Well the return of Racette to pro boxing did not happen
due to health concerns prior to the event.

Will this cancellation  help in future promotions, when the big reason  about a 1,000 folks attended
the event to see Gordie's return to pro boxing?  At this stage it is difficult to tell, but  they may have another promotion in the future, but without local stars, it may be a stretch to expect a 1,000 folks to go see
names of folks they have no real connection to.

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.
