This edition of “Pages From The Scrapbook” features my pre-fight article on three fights – dated June 23, 1986.

The Las Vegas triple-header card is – Thomas Hearns vs. Mark Medal / WBC Super Welterweight Championship, Barry McGuigan vs. Steve Cruz / WBA Featherweight Championship, and Roberto Duran vs. Robbie Sims / 10 Round Middleweight Bout.

Many of my current readers of today don’t know that back in the seventies, eighties, and nineties, I was a boxing beat writer for my local newspaper publication, the Santa Barbara News Press, doing fight predictions and other boxing related pieces.

It was such a blessing during that time in my life, as I truly experienced first hand the journalism field which has propelled to the best that I can be in producing my website – dmboxing.com
