That's a waste of my time.
Uh, that's always my time.
Well, basically, I was appointed by the governor of Pennsylvania in 1973.
as the first woman professional boxing judge in the United States.
And several years later, I found out it really was the world, which I much prefer.
Yeah.
It was through my husband at the time.
He's now my ex-husband.
And he was a referee beside being a stockbroker.
And he used to take me to the fights with him.
And I found them very cruel and very barbaric.
And I could never understand why when there was a lot of bleeding that the fights weren't stopped.
But through the almost 40 years, which it will be February 1st, I've learned basically through osmosis that the only way they will stop the fight is if the blood interferes with vision.
And I, as a judge, am not allowed to do that.
That can only come from the ring doctor, and there always are two, or the referee.
Very well.
Two heavyweight champions.
One was Jimmy Young.
The other was Ernie the Acorn Shavers.
And my commissioner came over to me, Zach Clayton, who was a former Harlem Globetrotter, as well as a very famous ref himself.
