I'm doing a presentation on the local boxing team from my hometown. As it was not a "school sport," it tends to be overlooked by area sports historians. But out of a small village, my brother produced the top club in upstate New York, that knocked the stuffing out of teams from the various upstate cities. And I found an article where he had started teaching girls boxing in the early 1970s.

After I stopped fighting, I was the team's co-trainer. I have trained amateur and pro fighters, though in recent times, only a few. Every amateur I've trained has won at least one Golden Gloves title, and the pro won every bout once I started to train him.

So since they were young, I taught my girls boxing, and other self-defense moves. It gives them confidence. My Boston daughter trains in the last boxing gym that my late friend Rubin visited. Both girls grew up thinking the Hurricane was their uncle!
