I've seen a boxer in action in a fight before.

Down in Key West. My band was playing "Fantasy Fest" week at a club called Durty Harry's in 1984.

We're making our way down Alice's Alley to get to the club. The alley is PACKED with people.

Big guy (I'd guess around 6'4") who was in really good shape was getting belligerent in the crowd of people.

He and a small guy got into a verbal altercation. The big guy took a swing.
The smaller guy hit him one time. Completely dislocated the big guy's jaw and he had to be taken to the hospital.

Later that night, the owner of Durty Harry's told us that the smaller guy was a golden gloves lightweight boxing champion.

I never forgot that.

It's a good lesson to keep in your head when you're out and about. You never know who the guy is you're messing with.
