call degrees dropped felt guess night people ray rounds sat whatever
It was 104 degrees that night. It was 130 degrees ringside, that's what they said. I was there. It felt like it. Whatever you call 'great' nowadays, I guess Ray was that then. I went to his fights. I wasn't superstitious. When Ray sat between rounds that night, I dropped my head. People said, 'Why do you drop your head? You crying?' I was praying.
care promised ray son took work
Ray had promised me back in 1940 that I would never have to work again. And I never had to. My son always took care of me.
