Jack Doyle: Video of the Gorgeous Gael
I love this video.
Kansas City’s Happy-in-Bag the other day was lamenting the lack of interest in boxing here in the US these days, and how talking about it is likely to gain you a look as if you’d announced that your favourite Christmas activity is vivisection.
My grandad told me once about seeing Movita when she came to Ireland. It sounded like a huge deal. That was before she dumped Irish boxer and tenor Jack Doyle for Marlon Brando.
This video of the Gorgeous Gael - subject of the Jimmy McCarthy song made famous by Christy Moore, The Contender - might give you some clues as to what attracted her to him.
Can you imagine Tyson singing like that - like Doyle or like Buddy Baer?

That was the first footage of Doyle I have seen. My father used always used to take us to visit Jack’s grave when we used to go to our grandparent grave in the Old Church Cemetery in Cobh.
