Ringside With Reading: Boxing History From Yesteryear is part of the https://sportshistorynetwork.com/ (Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear). NETWORK SPONSORS https://sportshistorynetwork.com/row1/ (Row One) - the vintage shop for sports history fans! EPISODE SUMMARY The first match took place on December 2, 1963, in Salt Lake City, Utah. Gene Lebell was a Judo fighter. I am going to include this because Lebell was an AAU Judo Champion and represented Judo in this contest. However, he had hundreds (or even thousands) of matches as a Pro Wrestler. This match was against Milo Savage, a top-rated journeyman in the Middleweight and Light Heavyweight divisions. Lebell was the brother of promoter Mike Lebell and the son of Aileen Eaton (Promoter). She also was the first woman to ever be inducted into the IBHOF (in 2002). Milo Savage later became a boxing judge and settled in the Trenton, New Jersey, area........

The ability to vote fighters into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota, N.Y. should be viewed as a great honor and taken seriously.

From Erik Morales, Vitali Klitschko, and Winky Wright to Santos Laciar, Julian Jackson and Ricky Hatton, many fighters are in the running with legitimate arguments for getting in. On this week's episode of Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio, Compubox operator joins fellow boxing historian and site/show founder Patrick Connor in dissecting the ballots they mailed in and the reasoning behind their picks.
