After delay after delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Class of 2020 was finally inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame (NYSBHOF) this past Sunday afternoon at Russo’s On The Bay in Howard Beach, New York.
Attending inductees were (L-R) Ron Lipton, Merqui Sosa, Dennis Milton, Freddie Liberatore (seated); Bobby Cassidy, Jr., Lou Savarese, Jack Hirsch and Rick Glaser (standing). Each received a custom-designed belt signifying their induction into the NYSBHOF. Henry Hascup and famed ring announcer David Diamonte shared master of ceremony duties.
Second from left standing is Lou Savarese!?
Yes it is.
Do you remember when Lou fought in NYC (can’t remember against who), but ref Steve Smoger (also from NY), kept asking: “You all right, Lou?” as he was getting pummeled.
I was going to ask the same question, but you asked and answered it. Lou looks totally different from as I remember him back in the day.
Well said!
Sure does.
He’s on Facebook.
Big Lou needs a haircut big time…..
Damn it’s Merqui Sosa!
Nobody knows these people lol
