Recently I brought a new category to my website, which is “Pages From The Scrapbook”.
A lot of my fan base don’t know that back in the seventies, eighties, and nineties that I was a boxing beat writer for my local newspaper the Santa Barbara News Press, doing fight predictions and also a guest reporter on local radio for all major fights.
I am delighted to bring some of these article features that I wrote for your viewing.
I learned quite a bit in the journalism field back in my younger days that have helped me to be the best I can producing dmboxing.com for all.
Featured here are my pre-fight and my post-fight articles on the Larry Holmes vs. Renaldo Snipes WBC heavyweight championship – dated November 1, 1981 and November 8, 1981.
Awesome article David. It’s easy to forget about once promising, snakebitten, George Chaplin and how great an ammy Dokes was.
