Profanity interruption at Maxim Charles bout recalls Derby mic tale
The sixth to seventh round of the Charles Maxim bout drew a muffled profanity incident from Maxim’s corner as an announcer quieted a heckler. The column then recalls Graham McNamee’s multi microphone setup at Churchill Downs and a 1951 football incident at Drake involving Wilbanks Smith and coach J. B. Whitworth.
