I went to school near Brockton for a bit. Brockton is one of the few high schools that had a boxing team.

Never get in a bar fight in Brockton especially if it’s with a little guy.

BTW Marvin Haggler was from Brockton.

BTW Marvin Haggler was from Brockton.

So was Rocky Marciano.

I lived down the street from this HS. And, 20 years ago I would see the HS kids walking home in front of my house. It was bad even then. Glad I went South...

BTW Marvin Haggler was from Brockton.
As was Rocky Marciano.

Hagler. Originally from Newark or Jersey City, but came up under the trainer Goody Petronelli in Brockton. Goody Petronelli was a friend of Rocky Marciano. Hagler and Petronelli’s nephew, Tony Petronelli were rising together, but Tony Petronelli peaked after losing a welterweight title fight to Wilfred Benitez in the mid 70s, while Hagler went all the way to the big time.

I was in a bar with my buddies once when Marvin Haggler showed up.
After a while he grabbed my buddies GF and gave her a big kiss.
Of course we did nothing about it..
