My eldest brother said the trick was to move so fast nobody ever got near you which is what he did. My father boxed at the same school in the 1930s and the gloves were probably his handed down. I used to watch amateur boxing with him on Grandstand on a Saturday afternoon and actually quite enjoyed it.Rachel Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053924416805878169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-59465691846194956442015-06-28T08:39:55.677+01:002015-06-28T08:39:55.677+01:00That is horrid!
