Commentary from Joe:
THE PICTURE OFF ALI AND ME SPARRING TOOK PLACE AT THE DOWNTOWN ATHLETIC CLUB AT 19 WEST STREET IN 1984. THE DAC WAS THE HOME OF THE HEISMAN TROPHY SINCE JAY BERWANGER WON THE FIRST HEISMAN IN THE LATE 1930'S. THE STRUCTURE OF THE 40 STORY BUILDING WAS DAMAGED ON 9/11 2001, AND HAS NOT REOPENED SINCE.
THE OTHER PICTURE IS ME, AS VP OF THE BOXING WRITER'S ASSOCIATION, PRESENTING MARVIN HAGLER WITH THE 1985 BOXING WRITERS FIGHTER OF THE YEAR AWARD. THE DINNER TOOK PLACE AT THE BALLROOM OF THE VISTA HOTEL IN THE WORLD TRADE CENTER.
