I used to score the fights w/ a little booklet put out by one of those sponsors---Don't know what ever happened to it, but I wish I had it today to look thru!

Fred,
I guess you were a little a head of me. I only remember my dad watching the Friday night fights from Gillette. I specifically remember the bell and announcement that opened the show. Very exciting.
If you ever run across one of those scorecards please scan and post it for us. I've never seen one and it sounds interesting.
