Yeah guys, while there are obviously many, many plusses with the internet-age and such, I to kind of miss those 'old days'. (Among other things, you can't really take the computer into the 'shitter' with you, unless you have perhaps Wi-Fi and a laptop, but still that would be quite awkward...) Anyways, those mags are getting harder and harder to find. I've always gotten The Ring, and with modern technology (or for some other reason?) the 'lag time' has gotten much better in recent years (they are only about a month 'behind date') but one other mag I used to get was the Euro-based Boxing Monthly. That was a terrific mag, and it still is, but I can't find it anywhere now. (Perhaps I will subscribe to it?) I've been getting The Ring since I was a little kid in the 70's, but I actually didn't really know who Houston was until a bit later on (about 1990 or so) when I started buying that Boxing Monthly. He wrote for them, and still does actually.
P.S - Supposedly Houston lived in Vancouver, B.C for a few years. There was (evidently?) a bit of a 'boom' in Boxing in that area, but to be honest, Vancouver is just a few hours north of me (Seattle) and...I don't really ever recall that? Perhaps it was a bit before my time, and sort of a by-product/accompaniment of the Boone Kirkman 60's/70's 'craze'???
