They still love Boom Boom

As the crowd waited to get tuned to New York for the Cotto fight, they announced some of the boxing greats in attendance.

Vinny Pazienza and Roy Jones jr. stepped to the ring for some great applause.

The local crowd showed much love for Henry Arroyo.

But they went crazy when the last boxer was announced:

".... Ladies and gentlemen, Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini ..."

And with that, the crowd erupted.

Next to Kelly, it will be the loudest cheers of the night.

Mancini put the blue collar city of Youngstown on the map in a positive way, and I think Kelly Pavlik is doing the same. I just hope he can stay away from the East Side Civics and be a true professional.
