Gillette Cavalcade of Sports - Boxing

[WSenator1]

Brings back memories of my father, who loved to watch boxing on TV in the 50s, when it was on almost every night of the workweek.

i said to myself "this sounds familiar..." then i see "Mike Tyson awaits your challenge Mac! by BigAlTheRantMaster. i then say, oh yeah....

[rockgor]

This snappy number was written by Mahlon

Merrick who was an arranger/conductor on

the Jack Benny program.

I'm so old I remember when Jack was on

radio...live!

So that's where the song came from. And I guess that's why they couldn't use it in Punch Out Wii (although the new theme is still amazing, one of my favorites even)

Mike Tyson awaits your challenge Mac!
