	BOXING NEWS: Spending Time in the Garde...by Bernie McCoy - May 23, 2003
		The main event started at ten o'clock, since it was televised as part of the "Gillette Cavalcade of Sports" on the NBC network.
		The "prelims" started at 7:30, and for the most part, these bouts were attended by large neighborhood contingents, rooting for a local fighter from one of the five boroughs of the city who had "come up through the Gloves" and the local fight clubs and had finally "made it" to the Garden.
		It may have been the proximity to the action, but I think the real reason that the absolute, brutal savagery of this bout has stayed with me over the years, is simply the fact that it was just non-stop, unrelenting fighting by two of the toughest fighters I have ever seen in the ring.

		Though "Ring of Fire" contains a postscript that brings the story up to the present, it centeres on a tragic sporting event that took place more than 40 years ago.
		It was during one such broadcast - on March 24, 1962 - that welterweight Emile Griffith faced Benny (The Kid) Paret for the third time.
		At the end, though, all is forgiven, as the filmmakers orchestrate a reunion between the guilt-ridden Griffith and the son of the man whose life he took at Madison Square Garden four decades earlier.

		And, sometime one of our- own rose up from the amateurs, got some big wins in local clubs, made it into the Garden, impressed in prelims, and then watched his name go up in lights as the headliner on the marquee at the Garden.
		All we did on Friday nights was elbow each other out-of-the-way to get closer to the radio to listen to the Gillette Cavalcade of Sports to hear the main event from the Garden.
		Summing it all up, there've been great fighters from gyms all over the country, and good trainers, but never in the sport's history have we seen so many greats all in one place at one time.
