The pic didn't show for me! My dad used to talk about Max all the time...he was really into boxing, and by extension, I was too. Where I grew up, almost every guy was into boxing, either watching it or doing amateur boxing. Some of the Rocky movies were filmed in my old neighborhood in South Philly, in fact.

The Blue Horizon is in a REALLY bad neighborhood, frankly I'd be afraid to go there even in broad daylight! Years ago, when I was a kid and before, the fighters were Irish, Italian and Jewish. Now its mostly black and Hispanic, and so the boxing venues are in their neck of the woods now. Usually really bad areas.
