The brawler tournaments staged at local nightclubs have no trouble filling their cards and I know men ranging from unemployed steelworkers to sales managers who are in training in a desperate bid to become the next Boom Boom Mancini. He has been followed by a host of вЂњvalley boysвЂќ such as top-ranked cruiserweight Randy Stephens. Earnie Shavers, whose sister lives next door to us, left the local General Motors plant to don the gloves and went on to fight Muhammad Ali for the heavyweight title. Mancini calls himself вЂњthe bluecollar workerвЂ™s fighterвЂќ and more and more bluecollar workers are becoming fighters. ItвЂ™s little wonder that Kim became a boxer as soon as he got the chance. But workers in Korean steel mills must wear uniforms and labor up to one hundred hours a week in return for subsistence wages.

Perhaps he could have gotten a job in one of KoreaвЂ™s new steel mills which have continued to operate at full production. Duk Koo Kim left the poverty of the Korean countryside and went to Seoul where he became a shoeshine boy. That option was not open to Boom Boom Mancini because industrial production has been shifted to low-wage countries such as South Korea. While he is sincere when he says that he became a fighter to capture the title which World War Two prevented his father from pursuing, he really had little choice.ДЇor decades any young man in the Valley willing to give up his health and his leisure time could make a good living in the steel mills or auto plants. Ray Mancini comes from Youngstown here in the Mahoning Valley where the unemployment rate is the highest in the country. But the two fighters were linked by more than a common decision to risk their lives in the ring. What was it that brought Ray Mancini and Duk Koo Kim together in the parking lot of CaesarвЂ™s Palace in Las Vegas? Sure, Mancini was the lightweight champion and the promoters brought in Kim in the expectation that he would be little more than a sparring partner. HereвЂ™s what I wrote at the time in In Your Face! AmericaвЂ™s Bluecollar Sport Letter: As for Duk Koo Kim, he died from the effects of fighting Mancini on November 13, 1982. I feel close to the song вЂњBoom Boom ManciniвЂќ because IвЂ™m from the Mahoning Valley in Ohio, just like Ray Mancini, and I have lived in Los Angeles for over twenty-five years, where local boy Bobby Chacon was a legend, a fan favorite, as he won two world titles. On SeptemChacon died from the cumulative trauma heвЂ™d suffered in the ring. In 1984, Boom Boom Mancini defeated Bobby Chacon, mauling him badly. They made hypocrite judgments after the factД«ut the name of the game is be hit and hit back He said, вЂњSomeone should have stopped the fight, and told me it was him.вЂќ If you canвЂ™t take the punches it donвЂ™t mean a thing Some have the speed and the right combinations Seven weeks later he was back in the ring When Alexis Arguello gave Boom Boom a beating He fought for the title with Frias in Vegas 'Gimme Back My Bullets' is so heavy and I prefer it over the LS original and nobody does ZZ Top better than the two on this CD.Is boxing the sweet science of Muhammad AliвЂ™s вЂњfloat like a butterfly, sting like a beeвЂќ or is it just mindless blood and gore? Warren Zevon seems to be trying to avoid having to answer that question on his savagely beautiful song, вЂњ Boom Boom Mancini,вЂќ a track on the album Sentimental Hygiene where, ironically, Zevon is backed by those softies from R.E.M.Д«oom Boom ManciniвЂ™s fighting Bobby ChaconДЇrom Youngstown, Ohio, Ray вЂњBoom BoomвЂќ ManciniДЄ lightweight contender, like father like son To hear 'Boom Boom' and 'Snortin Whiskey' redone with this tone and recorded with todays standards was impressive.
