Thanks for the welcome bear! Good to hear from you and Cap!
Just been busy indulging in other pasttimes with board baseball and basket ball. Been spending time on and off though just spending time researching on line for information on different fighters, both for my own pleasure but been helping out Gary Brown here and there with his LOB game helping him find information on different fighters he's been rating for his game over the past months.
I have subscriptions to the NYTimes and to Newspapers. com and boy a wealth of information looking up old newspaper articles on fighters. I really like maybe more than working on rating fighters, looking up to see what I can find out their personnel and career backgrounds. A lot that can be found in these articles.
Anyway got done with some things for now for Gary so decided to take some time back here and looking at some guys for the 1940s. Interested to see how boxing transititioned itself back from WW2. I'm actually looking up info on a guy that you rated some time back, Bear, Dixie Lee Oliver. So hope to post an update for him sometime soon for everyone. Maybe not so much a new rating but just some good Bio into on him.
Hopefully others here will injoy that kind of info.
Which I guess I'd mention that if anyone has some fighters that maybe the've rated but without a lot of information available on the web about them. let me know,, I'd be willing to take some look at some of them. See what could be dug up. I screen capture and then paste them into Word to make like a newspaper document for each.
Hope everyone here has been safe and well through the past months of crazyness we've been through.
