Anyone still has copies of Boxing Illustrated of year 1980?
I subscribed to the mag for several years, but unfortunately, I threw them away when moving to a new apartment.
Lew Eskin was the editor of Boxing Illustrated, and also the referee when Classen was killed by Scypion.
He commented on that fight in an editorial. At the time, I didn’t pay much attention of his editorial. Today, I’m curious of what he wrote.
A few days ago, I learned more about Scypion, a fighter I followed in the 80s.
The same old story: Scypion victim of early dementia.
I can’t fully enjoy boxing nowadays. I’m too aware of, that several of these young, well-conditioned guys that entertaint us now, are heading for a very harsh future …
