Brooklyn girlboxing … circa 1932!
Yep, girlboxing fight fans, boxing matches in Brooklyn are, it turns out, nothing new. Here’s a fabulous one from November 1932! It featured Miss “Tarzan” versus Terrible Tessy Terry. Other fighters on the card were Nancy “The Irish Demon” Clancy and “Furious Lil” Brown.
Great boxing video by artist and amateur boxer Desiree D’Alessandro!
Talk about a must see video, please take the time to watch this wonderful visual tone-poem to boxing as an art form entitled Artistic Performance, Amateur Boxing and “A People To Come” as part of the Digital (De-)(Re-) Territorializations Conference by artist and amateur boxer Desiree D’Alessandro!
I’d also like to send a huge shout out to the Daniel Martinez Boxing website for posting this remarkable artist’s work. The link to Desiree’s original post is here.
