Waterloo boxing fans recall Jimmy McVey once a top lightweight contender who helped shape prizefighting history. Now 59, he coaches Lloyd Huntley at the Business Men's Athletic Club gym in Waterloo and still trains, patterning his craft after a career that included a draw with Bonnie Hubbard and a near title shot before illness and age altered his path.
