You just pressed a memory button for me! A really nice one!!! I remember waking up, a little girl, and staggering into the living room where my father would be in his big old chair watching the fights. THe lights were off, the room all bluish from the little black and white TV, and I would crawl into his lap and doze with the sound of the fights in my ears. I was so safe and content. Do you think childhood security comes from those small moments?

I remember the Gillette Friday night fights but not the Tuesday night ones. Early 60's we may have not gotten the network.

Howard Cosell made his start as a fight announcer. Rode Ali to fame and glory. Football came later.
