This is the icing on the cake for me...that GorDoom and Mike have given me my own section on CBZ to be able to talk fights with old friends-- guys that I've traded posts with over the years and have encouraged me from the very beginning. Where else could I talk directly to "Gato" Gonzalez, Mando Ramos, Rick Farris, Ron lipton and the most knowledgeable fight posters on any site. I'm going to be re-tooling some of my old chestnuts; bring you a whole raft of new stories, anecdotes, buzz from the gym, quotes and interviews. They'll be raucous...crude... ...outrageous...uncensored...and as faithful as I can be to the characters and the world they live in. Some stories are side-splitting. Some: touching. Some are both. Hopefully, you'll see a side of personalities you've never seen before...and you'll want to keep coming back...and let me know what you think. As for my own background in the sport, I think nothing sums-it-up better than this first piece I did for WAIL!: "Stillman's Gym: The Center of the Boxing Universe".     - John Garfield, January 21, 2003 Index: January 27, 2003: Robinson Will Always Be My Favorite January 27, 2003: The Two Faces of Willie Pep January 25, 2003: Charley Burley in Action January 25, 2003: A Proud Man January 24, 2003: Heroes Up Close January 21, 2003: Tommy Gallagher Doesn't Sugar Coat It January 21, 2003: How to Win a Fight Without throwing a Punch January 21, 2003: Roberto Duran and the Heckler January 21, 2003: LaMotta's Battles Outside the Ring From May 2002 WAIL!: Stillman's Gym: The Center of the Boxing Universe
