After leaving the boxers are in the 13th round

Two coatsville, Pa. Boxers mentally engage in boxing injuries. Former IBF Feather Champion Kalvin ‘Silky Smooth’ grove and once polite heavyweight Jimmy Klark is both in the sister’s institutions suffering from dementia.

Grove is located in the center of Phoenix Phoenixville, PA, and although his appearance is good, given that he is about forty pounds heavier, while his memory of his previous career is not valid. I was told that he couldn’t go to the toilet alone, fearing that he would like to leave the object without knowing where he was going to former coach assistant Claude Mangum.

In his early professional times, Grove was in the coach John Traitza camp and the coach’s assistant Mangum Pottstown, PA. In the end, Grove moved to Texas Josephine Abercrombie in Houston boxing.

Grove won the IBF Feather Championship in France, defeating Champion Antonio ‘Tonito’ Rivera, 17-4-1, from Puerto Rico, stopping in four rounds.

Grove in the second defense he went to Mexico against Mexican Jorge Paez, 25-2-1, with a record 32-0 with PAEZ, winning the majority decision and won the title from Grove.

Two battles later again in their repeat match in Mexico, Grove was stopped in the eleventh round. In the next battle, he won the IBF USBA Super Feather Weight title, defeating Anthony English, Moscow, Russia. Two more wins, and he was stopped by Bernard ‘The BT Express’ Taylor, 40-2-2, at eleven rounds, and a majority decision in New York.

Grove won the next three battles before losing to club fighter Brian Paden, 14-7-3, eight rounds at the legendary blue horizon in Philadelphia. Next, he defeated Regilio Tur, 28-1-1, with a shared decision to win the title of US New York.

Next, Grove lost to WBC World Super Feather Champion Azumah ‘Professor’ Nelson, 34-2-1, with a decision in Nevada. He returned well, winning the next five battles, including former IBF Feather weight champion Troy Dorsia, 12-6-4, at the blue horizon.

Grove stopped former 3-two world champion Jeff Feneh, 26-1-1 in his next two battles, Australia. Again ‘Down Under’, he overcame former Australian and twin champion Leicester Ellis, 35-3. He also beat WBC Continental Champion Pete Taliaferro, 24-1, with a shared decision in Mississippe.

Grove closed his career at 2-5 four times. The first WBC world lightweight title in the battle made by Miguel Angel Gonzalez, 34-0. WBA Intercontinental Champion Angel ‘El Diablo’ Manfredy, 12-2-1, ibf Super Featherweight Champion Arthuro Thunder ‘Gatti, 27-1 and the final battle against IBF and WBC Light Welterweight champion in Russia born in Australia Kostya’ Thunder of Down ‘Tszyu. He closed his career at 49-10, seven times stopped. Why, especially in late career, was he placed with several IBHOF initiators?

These seven ended due to stopping fees in 1998. His memory had passed about his previous boxing career as I talked to him.

Heavy Jimmy Klark lost to the next world champion Michael Dokes for the title of Aau. In 1976, he lost to the next world champion John Teit in the Golden Gloves. In 1977, he defeated Russian Igor Vyotsky Russian and US double meetings. In the same year, in the semi -finals, he defeated future world champion Tony Tnt Tubb and the future of the world champion Greg Page National Golden Glove.

In 1978, he lost a three -time Olympic gold medalist Cuban Theophilo Stevenson, once in Cuba and twice in the US.

Pro Clark had an 18-1 record with 16 stops. He was 16-0 at the time he lost Reggie Gross, 15-3, nine rounds in Skranton, PA. His aunt, he was close, died two weeks before the fight, and he refused to pull out of the fight, but mentally wore a heavy burden. After two wins, he ended with a competition against Kimel Odum, 9-2, 1989.

Clark said coach Angelo Dundee is related to him in several battles.

Clark is located in the Town Manor East object in Norristown, Pa. He mentioned many of the past Filija destroyers, but half a dozen he asked if I knew the Duke Dugent, who led the 23rd friend in Philadelphia. At the second meeting, I brought him a picture of Dugent, his own and Philly, “Gypsy”, Joe Harris, which I tried to re -emphasize after being discovered in my eye. His face lit up seeing a dung.

Both Grove and Clark residents from the same Coatesville are in the 13th round of their lives suffering from injuries due to boxing.
