Started as a kid at the beginning of the '50's watching the Pabst Blue Ribbon Wed nite fights & the Fri nite Gillette Cavalcade Boxing on our little B&W TV.

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.

Bud,

Your Jack Monroe was from Police Gazette dated January 1957. This was actually the first black and pink picture. They didn't print another until April 1964 which was Chas "Kid" McCoy.

Packy McFarland was issued August1952. Awesome picture!

Joe Brown and the leading lightweight contenders is from March 1958. Brown also shared the cover with Mike Todd (one of many Mr. Liz Taylors) and Eleanor Roosevelt. The mag also had a full page color team picture of the Milwaukee Braves.

More examples.
