SAN ANTONIO, Texas, November 10, 2006 – The packed crowd at the Alamadrome roared. Nicknamed “Soccer Mom” for his ardent attendance at his kids’ sports events, this husband and father from Carol Stream, Illinois was fighting three-time world heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield. What’s more, Holyfield, 44, had tired visibly in the last several rounds. With six minutes to go, victory and the Vacant USBA Heavyweight Title were all but his. Or were they? A Look Back: Montell ‘Ice’ Griffin Relives the Highs and Lows of a Former Light Heavyweight Champ3/24/2021 By Juan C.

CHICAGO — it was an inauspicious start, but oh what a ride — and, at times, what a heartache — it has been. “My father and my brother, Tim, went to Johny Coulon’s Boxing Gym on the Southside to teach for 70 cents and ended up buying the gym," Montell Griffin says. "And I just started boxing at the gym all the time. I was two, three years old.” Having reorganized Coulon's Gym as Windy City Boxing Club, Inc. in 1973, his father, Clarence Griffin, gained a reputation as a solid trainer and often trained Muhammad Ali when he was in town. In fact, Ali became such good friends that he regularly invited Clarence and little Montell over to his house. No doubt, this played a role in the young Griffin's development as a fighter. By Juan C.

Three years ago, my wife, Belle, and I moved into our beloved, custom-built, Mid Century Modern ranch house. We were enthralled, as were my adult step children. However, it wasn’t long before they began teasing us about our our living room furniture. Bele had bought the leather couch, loveseat, overstuffed chair and ottoman set at Thomasville in the North Shore for roughly $12,000 some 20 years ago and, despite their timeless charm, their surfaces were marred with cracks, chipping and stains. We discussed replacing them but soon realized that it would be very expensive. Besides, our couches had great lines and were still structurally sound. We decided to research firms that specialized in restoring leather furniture. The owners of one highly recommended local company examined the furniture, confirmed the quality of our seating and proudly announced that they could do the job for a mere $1,800.
