“In Boxing, Doing Decent Things”

Michael Woods of The Sweet Science has written a charming reflection on our own Melvina Lathan and the “decent things” of the boxing world. Michael even mentions the AAIB Celebrity Golf Invitational coming up this Columbus Day Weekend:

“…let's consider a fuller picture on Lathan, who two weeks ago was visiting about 30 kids at the Willis Ave gym in the South Bronx, giving out goody bags, with fresh fruit and water and the like, from out of her own pocket. She talked to the kids about healthy nutrition, about staying in school, about being decent souls, about stuff that so many of us take for granted, and can't conceive of any one meeting pointers on, because we come from a place of plenty.”
