This was back in the 50's with some great fighters during that era !! Fulmer brothers some of my favorites.

If you recall this show your really dating yourself! LOL

(Google it.)
Watched it with my dad, too. He was a great sports fan. Baseball was his favorite, but he loved the fights as well. Took me to see The Harder They Fall when I was 7. Spent the rest of the day telling me stories about old time fighters. My dad passed in March of '86 just after the Bears Super Bowl win that we watched together. My sister remembered listening to Louis-Conn II on the radio with my dad.
