RIP Ray Corso

[johnbook]

Ray used to be ahead of a club in New Haven. I remember Steve Cotton was one great fighter he had at one point [I don't know about Steve development though (?)].
Ray Bright was a strong protege Ray C had. Ray B. won NE 147lb in '85.
Yeah. Well known in the region.

Only ams or pro too?

He may of had a hand also with H. Ken "The Hammer" Schmidt a 1980's local fighter.

[DuckAdonis]

I remember this guy

He always seemed very polite and unbiased. Sad

[Bill Hodge]

(Johnbook) Really not sure what Ray did on the pro side. I believe he was involved.
'83 New Englands we have for our team myself, Al Hunt (165lb) Mac Buckley (coach) Ray Bright (139 that year) Ray C (Coach) and the renown Marlon Starling (coach) prior to his title reins.
Mike Tyson just coming out that year. We are together on the Holyoke team.
Ray Bright was the one I was looking at as the "future big star" of the group. < Ray Corso's fighter.

[Bill Hodge]

Forgive me...
Don't know him. Ray was a trainer? Of amateurs or?

You know what they say: "Fighter's fight" its what they do, but never do they hold a grudge...and when it is check out time, never a bad word. You and Ray like many had your moments and they could be amusing. But there was respect there, and it is very interesting that you have had this battle as well J. Good for you for sharing that!

Well as Ray would say: "chicken and stir fry, by kiddies" (of course in this house I have to cook it!)

Yea B scene no longer saves the older messages from a certain time frame and has back limits now,to bad a lot was lost ,I think a bit of him went into me with the younger idiots challenging me on here lending out a hand and helping them with their demise if they like. I even got an entire thread if how TOUGH I I am apparently in the thinderdrome ,I remember creating one for Ray in the fantasy fights and baiting him with real odd ball matches he would go ranting about, lol
