FORT WORTH – Much of the first day of the Fort Worth Regional Golden Gloves Tournament was spent perturbed over who wasn’t there.
For the first time in the 83-year history of the tournament, the local daily is skipping it.
The real story on Tuesday night was who was there.
A certain name on the fight card sure looked awfully familiar.

Good. Maybe that will give him something else to do other than trash his alma matter on Twitter...

I was hoping it was Marvin, but he would have to be in the senior division.

Golden gloves used to be what a lot of Frog footballers participated in.
Both Dutch and Abe liked boxers-- thought they had great hearts for competing.
Two of the best were Harold Kilman and Paul Peebles, and represented TCU very well.

GG is one of the things I've really missed about living in Fort Worth. Maybe one of these years I'll make it back for a night or two...

Same thought I had. When I discovered it wasn't him I went to watch the Great White Hit again anyway. Thoroughly enjoy that every time i watch it, even if the resolution is hot garbage.

Perfect last name.

Former LB James Helwig once fought Ali and bloodied his nose in an exhibition that Ali wasn’t exactly going 100%.

There are some great stories in "12 Mighty Orphans" about the kids at the Masonic Home fighting in the GG.
