This edition of “Pages From The Scrapbook” features my pre-fight article piece – dated December 6, 1985 – on the Donald Curry vs. Milton McCrory WBA/IBF/WBC Welterweight “unification” Championship Fight.
Many of my loyal readers don’t know that back in the seventies, eighties, and nineties, I was a boxing beat writer for my local newspaper, the Santa Barbara News Press, doing fight predictions. I frequently did guest commentary on local radio for all of the major fights, as well.
It was such a blessing, as I truly learned first hand about the journalism field in those early years, and that has helped me be the best I can be producing dmboxing.com today.
The build up for this one was huge. It didn’t quite live up to expectations. Good pick though.
