Mick. The Norris Mcguirter of Boxing.

I have so spelt that incorrectly.

Scott was 1 of my favorite fighters back then--Rahway State Prison, Rahway, New Jersey

I read about it, he fought the top fighters and no shame in losing to Quawi who was a beast. I guess in jail there are no diversions and all you can do is train.

Interesting as the two of them must have known each other. Same prison, same boxing program. Must have been a little surreal for Qawi to enter the same jail for a fight he was recently released from. @CutMeMick is right, several of his fights aired on ABC's Wild World of Sports.

Yeh when I first got interested I talked to a dude who knew a dude and traded for a couple of his NBC fights. Very interesting to see the recognition he got with being locked up. Shame they just pulled the rug out from under him and just shut him down and black balled him basically.

What happened to him? Was he ever released?

He did close to 30 years and was released several years ago. Qawi oddly enough was his last fight.

They should make a film about him, hope he is doing well for himself.

Ahh maybe it was Nbc. I remember at least 3 of them albeit vaguely laying on that 5 inch 70's shag rug.

Its crazy to think how they had to ship everyone in, the announcers etc?! They were all 'on location' I'd imagine. Can you imaging lil Paulie strolling down general population with his fohawk hairdo
