TUNE IN AT EVERY WEDNESDAY @7PM to 8PM EST FOR THE Multi-Ethnic Sports Hall of FameS INTERNET RADIO TALK SHOW: The National and International Roundtable! The live and archived show will feature compelling guests that will enlighten, inform, empower, and educate listeners around the globe. Dear Arif and Judge Wilson, Just wanted to check in to say how much I enjoyed the Round Table Podcast recently. It was the perfect show in that the subject of brain injury had been highlighted with the PBS show focusing on concussions, and the impact it has on professional athletes. The information about the prevalence of brain injury in the general population was very informative. You and Judge Wilson were indeed at the top of your game on that show, and provided some excellent information and inspiration for those that have been impacted by the tragic circumstance of head trauma and the varied and resulting brain dysfunction. Your guest, Constance Miller, was the perfect person to discuss this issue in view of her advanced education on the subject and personal experience with her brain injury. VM USA National and International Roundtable, which will feature compelling guests that will enlighten, inform, empower, and educate listeners around the globe. This weeks show, which is broadcast live at 7 p.m. EST, will feature a former boxer and referee with the World Boxing Council. Dont miss it! Guest: Chuck Williams started boxing in St. Michaels Orphanage in Staten Island at age 10. It was for survival, said Chuck. There was no head gear, mouth piece or cup, just two urchins wailing away at each other wit 16 oz slip-on gloves. Chuck had 300 plus fights during his stay at St. Michaels with one young guy..Hector Taylor beating him just about every day for a year before Father Connely (from Hells Kitchen) told him, bring your hands up high with elbows in. Three jabs and a right cross. Kids would all chant Williams and Taylor and wanted to see the Irish kid (Chuck) get a bloody nose. After following Father Joes instructions, Chuck beat Hector Taylor and afterward Hector would not get in the ring with Chuck again. Lesson learned: Never give up! Chuck and others would listen to the great announcer Don Dunphy describe the fight between Sugar Ray Robinson and Carmen Basilio and other great boxers of that area, and tried to do in the ring what Donphy was describing on the radio. There were no TV in those days. Chuck was in the Navy in 1951-1956 as a Navy Corpsman during the Korean War and was a medic for the U.S. Marines. He trained all Navy Welterweight and Heavyweight Champions at Age 19. He always said and believed boxing trainers were like jockeys, you are about as good as the horse you are riding. Chuck started officiating (Referee and Judge) in 1980. He worked matches with amateurs up to and including national tournaments and Olympic Trials. After receiving experience, he joined the WBC and was a judge for professional championship fights around the world. Hes currently Supervisor of World Boxing Councils (WBC) Champions. Chuck had a radio show Ringside with Chuck Williams and was lucky to have many great champions on his show. George Foreman, Emanuel Steward (my dear departed brother, he said), Sugar Ray Leonard, Diego Corrales (another who left us too soon), Oscar Del Hoya, and many more. Chuck received compliments for his show and said he had a lot of fun doing it.
