From the desk of Michigan
Boxing Judge Andrew Brown
comes this note expressing a
boxing business. Brown, one OF
the three Negro boxing judges
in the country writes us:
after the unfortunate death
Of Benny kid Paret in a box
ing ring a few weeks ago most
Of the so-called experts say that
the sport should be abolished.
In my AS years In the sport the
way see it boxing has been
abolished since the day Joe
Louis quit the ring
Boxing is called the manly
art of self-defense. Paret was
known to the fraternity as a
catcher--one who takes a punch
and fights back harder. The self
defense in boxing has been taken
out by trainers who know little
or nothing about the art Of the
sport Would Paret be alive to-
day if old Jack Blackburn had
trained him?
"The big question before us
today is now we can bring smart
boxing back--not abolish il. ]
Speiser a license.
would suggest having a reunion
with some OF the oldtimers and
form a school for the present
day trainers befoSe giving them
license TO teach boxing. Some
of the veteran around today that
are not active are Ken Offett,
Harry Raskin, Harry Robertson.
Preston Brown and many others
who know boxing from A TO L.
II approached they would be
glad to help bring the sport up
to standard again.
The art of self defense is a
lost art these days. There are only
four punches a fighter has 10
know to be a world champion
a left jab, right cross, left hook
and a right uppercut. Gene Tun-
ney won the heavyweight cham.
pionship of the world with just
two punches-a left jab and a
right cross. Today trainers have
added six or seven useless pun
ches. Show me a fighter who car
use three out of the four pun
ches ! have mentioned perfect
ly and has a good defense with
II and | will crown your
next champion.
"Some fighters arm faster
than others and should be in an
advance class both amateur
and professionals If would be
fighter couldn't learn the art
within three years he should be
forced TO hang up his gloves for
his own good. Host of the So
call boxing matches nowadays
are nothing but I-hit-you and
you-hit-me for four, six. ten
rounds or more, then they make
a mad bee line for the box of
flee to collect fat purse.
Fighters of yesterdays h a d
pride in their boxing. If they
we're hit too often with certain
punch they would get back
in the gym and try to correct
their mistakes. Modern boxers
now gloat over the fact that
they took all their opponents
