Speaking of Thanksgiving ......

[H2O Man]

29. Definitely good fights then!

I'm glad that the internet allows me to watch them with my son and daughter who box. They are both good enough these days that I get out the old letters from Rubin, when he was in Rahway and Trenton, giving me advice when I fought. That man could communicate in writing what many trainers have difficulty teaching these days!

My daughter in Boston trains at the last gym that Rubin visited. There was a very good female fighter there sparring. Afterwards, she asked Rubin what he thought? He said, "You keep dropping your right hand after you throw it. If you were sparring me, my left hook would come sizzling to your jaw the first time you did that." She's kept her hands up since!

My children grew up sure that Rubin was their uncle. Dang, I miss that man!
