Angelo Dundee, One of the Greats Passes at Age 90!

Angelo Dundee, one of the greatest boxing trainers, cornermen, motivators and tacticians recently passed away at age 90. Dundee trained Carmen Basilio, Muhammed Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard amongst others . He started and ran the 5th Street Gym in Miami in the late 1950's . His brother was a well-recognized boxing promoter for many years.
Ang knew[or created] every trick in the book and his ability to motivate was unparalleled . We all remember him telling Ali who was dancing too much and not throwing enough punches, "you're blowing it champ "! Several years later , in a similar scenario he yelled at Sugar Ray , "you're blowing it kid" .
His life was the gym and the ring. He worked in the Golden Age of Boxing with the likes of Ferdie Pachecho . He shared a common vocabulary with Yogi Berra.
I still remember Saturday afternoons on ABC's Wide World of Sports seeing Dundee in Ali's corner against Norton, Ellis, Quarry and Bonavena . Howard Cosell doing the blow by blow .
Terrific stuff ! Like it was yesterday.
There will never be another one like Good Ol Angelo ! God Bless .
