Hi All: As some1 totally blind, there is hardly anything more `exciting than listening to blow-by-blow Boxing on Radio, but as far as I know SiriusXM was the most recent who had any. I airchecked 2 fights in 2015.
Considering an Olympics are happening, I would
think there would be at least 1 English-Language Broadcast of Olympic Boxing? Several years ago I wrote CBC Radio in Canada, but they claimed they had never had any. I am rather skeptical as CBC-Radio almost seemed to offer more fights than US Radio Networks. In addition, in Les Keiter's auto-biography, he mentions covering the 68 Olympics in Mexico City for Mutual Radio-and-in general Mutual had more Boxing than any1 else. Supposedly in an early 2000s when ESPN-Radio had Olympics, there was Boxing, but I have no idea if any of it is
online? And lastly, back in the 90s there was a blind Boxing fan in
Milwawkee who had a marvelous archive.
He offered fights on audio casettes, but at that time I guess he wasn't making many sails? He may have donated his collection. I would love to find many more fights announced by Keiter-and-Jack Brickhouse. Not every announcer was good at making a fight exciting. Maybe some1 here has a good pointer to a large archive of Radio fight Broadcasts? Thanks so much in advance
