The above picture is by Scott Dalton in this month's National Geographic: Boxing keeps boys busy in coastal Colombia-and success in the sport can offer a way out of poverty for a lucky few.
The below are from the 1948 Golden Gloves, scratchy old pictures from the Lowell Sun, which in their original form were masterpieces. Sorry for the poor quality.
Rocky Marciano, with the old spelling, standing, second from your left

Lawrencian Bill Canty in the wild trunks, landing a right on the chin of Edward Luiz...he won that night, February 9, 1948 with a 3rd round TKO.
