The Footnotes of History
FOOTNOTES IN THE STORIES:
BY Brian Zelley
* Often lost in the story, of each of the boxers selected
in our group of 60, are the names of those boxers that
faced our boxing stars in the pro debut. Who are they
and how did their journey go?
A sample of names include on Frankie Green aka
"Frankie The Pug", or one Walter Morris, and John Mason.
There was also a Terry Sorrell and a Joe Hogue.
And, how many can remember Moncton's Wayne Martin
who faced Trebor Berbic at the Festival Arena in Shediac
