(Spring 2024 Edition)
The Spring season is officially now upon us and as I respectfully do on a quarterly basis, I want to say thank you to a small team of people that truly help make dmboxing.com the success that it has been since the first publication on July 15, 2007. I would like to acknowledge these people, who are: Bob Quackenbush (Proof Reader / Photo Editing); Tom Donelson (Member Boxing Writers of America / BWAA); Kathy Kraft (Proof Reader); and Steve Corbo (Boxing Writer / Proof Reader).
There were three other people who are no longer with us (R.I.P.) that were so instrumental in their contributing to this website that I must mention and never forget them. They are: Rusty Rubin (In Rusty’s Corner / Glove2Glove); Harold Lederman (HBO World Championship Boxing / Hey Harold!); and Jim Amato (Senior Boxing Writer / Boxing Historian).
As seen in this edition, my official website hat is displayed. It is blue in color with embroidered logo on front, and website address on back. It has an adjustable Velcro strap to fit all sizes.

Boxing has been a way of life for me, living it since 1961, and it is a complete honor to bring everyone my boxing world in honesty and with credibility being my intent.
