Our Floyd Maines VMA looks super and all the upgrades were well done. Should the seating be expanded there? With rumors about Ottawa wanting to move the BSens to Belleville, Ont., this might be a good time to consider that. To help secure our position as an AHL franchise, regardless of affiliation, for the future.

3/28/81, Carrier Dome, 21k in attendance. Opened Sept. 1980. The late,great and deeply troubled boxing prodigy, 18 yr. old Tony Ayala, Jr. displays his enormous ring presence and power. Boxing writer Michael Katz called him the best young boxer he had ever seen. Within 2 yrs he would enter prison for 16 yrs. for sexual assault. He was 22-0, 19 KO. "I was Mike Tyson before there was a Mike Tyson," he told ESPN. Writer Joe Bruno called him the most despicable person he ever met in boxing, followed closely by his father. A year after a second stint in jail for burglary he OD at the family gym in San Antonio on May 12, 2015, found slumped over with a needle in his arm at the age of 52.

 

Main event was Sugar Ray Leonard defending his WBC welterweight crown vs. Larry Bonds. And Lou Duva turns 94 May, 28.
