You didn't have gloves???? We sure did. It was quite interesting actually, some of the boxing matches that we had. My most memorable one was between John Nickerson and this very tall and heavy set guy who was actually a momma's boy type. He used to get a lot of teasing. One night they convinced him to put on the gloves and he and John were going to box. John was poking fun at him and egging him on to take a swing, when suddenly Rodney hit him with an upper cut that sent John backward and if I remember right resulting in him hitting his head on the wall behind. The shocked expression on John's face was priceless! However, having connected with his punch so scared Rodney that he tossed off the unlaced gloves and ran up the stairs to his room and locked the door. He was afraid to come out of his room for quite a while.
