    With Senator McCains efforts to help boxing, different thoughts came to my mind. How could he help, what would it help and does it even need help.

    The common public perseption is that boxing is tainted dirty and not played on an even level. The words up top are words from a Concrete Blonde song. Are these words indicitive of how the world perseves our sport?

    The song is a Leonard Cohen original. Many bands have covered it.

    Yeah, boxing is crooked and always has been a rogue sport. Home cooking still rules the small venues with King preying on the large ones. Most sports in America start off with an outlaw background but as the sport takes off the promoters are smart enough to centralize authority. Boxing promoters ain't that bright which is why we have the ABC through Z orgs.

      The ABC(Associated Boxing Commision) will be good for boxing. I am a member as a referee. We are about the truth, not the money.
