নিউ ইয়র্ক (জানুয়ারী 21, 2016) – Ring 8’s first monthly meeting of 2016 was held this past Tuesday evening at O’Neil’s Restaurant in Maspeth, নিউ ইয়র্ক.

International boxing judge জন McKaie (বাম) was the guest speaker. McKaie has judged nearly 800 পেশাদার মারামারি, সেই সঙ্গে 23 world championships.

রিং 8 historian হেনরি Hascup (অধিকার) eulogized and made a historical tribute to the late Herschel Jacobs, who passed away this past December at the age of 75 (pictured to right). জ্যাকবস (27-20-2, 11 কস) fought professionally between 1960 এবং 1978. His most notable win was a 10-round decision in 1971 against three-time world light heavyweight champion and Hall-of-Famer, Harold Johnson, at the famed Sunnyside Garden in Queens. Jacobs also gave Rubin “হ্যারিকেন” গাড়োয়ান (4-0) his first pro loss in 1962 by way of a six-round decision.

Jim Kinney (speaking) made a special presentation to Herschel Jacobs’ son (far left). রিং 8 historian Henry Hascup (white shirt) এবং রিং 8 প্রেসিডেন্ট বব ডাফি (দূরে ডান) also took part in the presentation.
