thanks 4 the invite 2 MBF, acb

[john garfield]

Hi, all

Appreciate the invite to MBF from acb and look forward to talkin' fights.

My MOS is: I only talk about fighters I've seen train and fight live over the last 65 years, and never get into mythical match-ups -- too frustrating.

If guys are gonna throw down, then I'll give ya my two cents.

Great to have you here JG!.

Your experiences add to any boxing forum and I think you will enjoy this one.

By the way JG here is a recently uploaded video of Willie Pep.

How do you doin Sir Garfield!!! I wasn't invited nor welcome here. I just found this site & recognized my old Pals(Or enemys). Welcome to both of us. Or maybe I'll just say goodbye just in case they decide I'm not welcome here.

Welcome to the forum. I've heard a lot about you and your experiences in the fight game from several posters, so I can't wait to read about some myself.

I have a clip of Loi on DVD, but it runs for only about thirty seconds and it doesn't do him justice.

How would you describe Loi's style?

Like you, I've only seen Loi on TV and clips, and heard trainers and fighters talk about him in the gym.

I don't really get a visceral sense of a fighter from TV, and I hate to comment off second-hand information.
