haired miserable looking kid on the right is my cousin. In

Yes boxer wallace won the aba twice i think. i think he was
frank warrens first pro fighter. He boxed out of the st helens
star boxing club with george and ray gilbody. Their dad was a
trainer who had a reputation of being a real hard man. Sadly
keith wallace died young age 38. i had forgot about michael
harris you have jogged my memory a good fighter atb.
