OMG I haven’t thought about Tony Chiaverini in years.....
He was a little older than me and probably about to retire at the time. Seemed very personable. I don’t know how those middleweight southpaws took it or how traditional boxers took it (as differentiated from PKA with fewer shots to the head).
I was a nobody, BTW. Had to work too much and support a family. It was all vanity, though, you know. If I had it to do again, I wouldn’t.
