"The RING", April 1982, the Zelley review

My Review of "The RING" magazine, April 1982

Good magazine with a lot of interesting stories and results.
On the local level, there was a report on pro boxing in 
Victoria, BC in a show promoted by JOE REDDICK.
it featured JERRY (Mack Truck) REDDICK with
a victory over JOEY KEENE.  On the undercard
Vancouver's MIKE OLAJIDE Jr. stopped one
Johnny Gaines

In Nanaimo, John Furlong promoted a card that 
featured GORD RACETTE vs one RUDI LUBBERS,
Darryl Penn of Portland defeated  Vancouver's 
Johnny Herbert.

In another Victoria card, as reported by JIM JOHNSON,
DALE GRANT ko'd Jesse Avila.  Two of the other bouts
saw Mike Olajide  win a bou in thre and in another
jAIME OLLENBERGER stopped Victoria boxer PERRY EVANS
in the fourth round.
