Does Anyone Remember: Boro Park: THE LAMPLIGHTER BOXING GYM ?

schooner

Hi Guys/Gals

The gym: THE LAMPLIGHTERS BOXING GYM was across the street from: Boro Park Theater on New Utrecht Avenue. Right across the street upstairs from a store that sold lamps. It had NOTHING to do with the store.

The WelterWeight Champion Of The World: Paddy DeMarco sponsored the club in the early

1950's

I use to train there.

Do any you guys/gals have any info or remember that gym ?

Shooner,

I posted your question on the ongoing open conversation here:

Many Park Slope natives from way back in the day are talking on that thread. I hope you join in and meet the regulars.
