Published: August 30, 2023
Ray Arcel was born on August 30, 1899, in Terre Haute, Indiana, to Russian-Jewish immigrant parents.
Arcel's mother passed away when he was only four years old, and Ray was brought up by his father. Before passing away, Ray's mother, born in Brooklyn, wanted to leave the Midwest and return to her New York roots. The Arcels subsequently relocated to Manhattan, first to the Lower East Side and then to West 106th Street in Harlem.
Growing up in New York in those days, Arcel told Ronald K. Fried in Corner Men: "You had to fight in those days. You lived in a neighbourhood where you were challenged every day. We were the only Jewish family there, but that's an old story. Wherever you go they tell you the same story." Arcel continued to say: "If you didn't fight you were yellow."
While training to be a boxer at Grupp's Gymnasium on 116th Street and Eighth Avenue, Arcel was under the tutelage of two great trainers in Dai Dolling and Frank "Doc" Bagley. Bagley once managed the great Gene Tunney and taught Ray the art of being a Cutman. Dolling was a Welshman who had trained the likes of Tunney, Al Brown, Jimmy McLarnin, Jack Britton, Ted Kid Lewis, and Johnny Dundee. Dolling taught Arcel about the individuality of each fighter and the need to train them accordingly.
After a short career as a fighter, Arcel became a trainer, and that is when he established his greatness.
Arcel's first world champion was Frankie Genaro, who won the Flyweight world title in 1923. In 1924, Ray led Abe Goldstein to victory against Joe Lynch for the bantamweight title.
This was only the start. Arcel's subsequent success with numerous all-time greats cemented him as arguably the greatest trainer in boxing history.
Arcel's beginnings as a trainer were during the days when boxing was the sport of all sports—when Jack Dempsey was the heavyweight champion.
"A Dempsey fight was magic. The minute he walked into the ring you could see smoke rising from the canvas," said Arcel when reminiscing decades later on the heyday of Dempsey in the ring. "You knew you were going to see a tiger let loose."
Arcel's career as a renowned boxing trainer spanned from the 1920s, training Benny Leonard, all the way to the '80s, when perhaps most famously, he trained Roberto Duran.
Arcel was the oracle of boxing. A man who saw Jack Dempsey fight in 1916; befriended and trained Benny Leonard; was in Barney Ross' corner the night Henry Armstrong became welterweight champion in 1938 and was with Ross in the following days while tending to his wounds; worked opposite Joe Louis on countless occasions, including the night Louis first became heavyweight champion in 1937 against James J. Braddock, and the night Ezzard Charles defeated Louis in Louis' final title fight in 1950. Arcel was then in Duran's corner in 1980 in both historic fights against Sugar Ray Leonard and then in Larry Holmes' corner in 1982 in the momentous heavyweight showdown against Gerry Cooney.
Between the '20s and '80s, the only full decade Arcel did not train fighters was the 60's.
For nearly twenty years, from 1954, Arcel had quit boxing and was working as a purchasing agent for a metal company. Then, in 1972, Arcel received a call from boxing manager Carlos Eleta Almarán. Arcel returned to work with Alfonso (Peppermint) Frazer, who won the title under Arcel's training from Nicolino Loche on March 10, 1972. The relationship between Arcel and Eleta developed further, and Eleta had a wild kid from the slums of Panama City, Panama, whom he wanted Arcel to train. Arcel's link-up with this kid from Panama cemented his legend, as Duran became arguably the greatest lightweight in history, rivaling another great 135-pounder, Arcel's previous student, Benny Leonard.
No other trainer has ever arguably worked with as many all-time greats, with names that Arcel trained including Benny Leonard, Ross, Armstrong, Kid Gavilan, Freddie Steele, Tony Zale, John Henry Louis, Charles, Holmes, and Duran.
In a sport of toughness and meanness, Arcel was an anomaly. He was a very humble, polite, and respectful man. Arcel was described by sportswriter "Red" Smith as "the first gentleman of fistfighting."
Just like great trainers typically do, Ray always gave credit to the fighters, saying the trainer would be nothing without the fighter. He would merely give them pointers.
As Arcel told Ronald K. Fried in Corner Men, "Nobody had to teach Duran how to fight. The first day I saw him - not in New York, I saw him in Panama - I told everybody around him, 'Don't change his style. Leave him alone. I don't want anybody to ever tell him what to do. Let him fight."
Of course, Arcel did have a real impact on Duran's boxing. Alongside an old friend, Freddie Brown, a former cut-man of Rocky Marciano, they molded a young Duran into an all-time great champion. They fine-tuned Duran's style, with this power-punching brawler becoming a very defensively acute fighter while applying that pressure, boxing unlike any lightweight had for years. Under the tutelage of Arcel and Brown, Duran became one of the best and most crafty fighters in history.
An insight into Arcel's involvement in the career of his fighters can be seen through his handling of Charley Phil Rosenberg, who won the bantamweight title in 1925. Rosenberg, preparing for a title fight against Cannonball Martin on March 20, 1925, had three months to shed 37 pounds and meet the 118 pounds limit after having ballooned up to 155 pounds. Arcel went everywhere Rosenberg went and did everything Rosenberg did. Arcel did roadwork with him, prepared his meals, and slept in the adjoining bed.
In Ray Arcel: a Boxing Biography by Donald Dewey, Arcel spoke of the nights leading up to Rosenberg's fight against Martin. "I always had to sleep with one eye open. Charlie would get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and I would stand there with the door open. He kept cussing me. 'I just want to gargle,' he'd say. And I'd tell him, 'I'm watching your Adam's apple, Charlie. Don't swallow that water.'"
"After this fight is over," Rosenberg told Arcel, "I'm going to kill you."
Rosenberg beat Martin via a 15-round decision, and Arcel lived for another 69 years.
Arcel's wisdom was the stuff of legend.
"Ring sense is an art, a gift from God that flows out of a fighter like a great painting flows out of an artist, or a great book flows out of an author," Arcel once said. "Ring sense is a natural ability to cope with any situation in a fight. It cannot be taught."
Arcel's last appearance in the ring was in the corner of Holmes when the "Easton Assassin" stopped Cooney in 1982. Arcel worked alongside long-time friend Eddie Futch on this night.
Arcel trained three men who can be regarded as the greatest in the entire history of their divisions. Benny Leonard and Duran are regarded as two of the greatest lightweights ever. Ezzard Charles is arguably the greatest light heavyweight ever. To create such great fighters, Arcel's greatness as a trainer is evident.
Nobody taught boxing better while carrying them-self with the same sincerity and humility as the great Ray Arcel.

Fonte: …I just…don’t understand. Why wouldn’t they tell anybody? No me…not Kerta…not Derek…not Ezzard…
Fonte: It just doesn’t make sense…
[Flashback underneath Read More]
[ Kerta and Ezzard are co-owned by @jello-skykid ]
“I don’t understand. Your era should have ended a long time ago…Why are you all still here?”
Silence. The current elders all looked among one another, as if ashamed to admit to anything.
“That…” The Vault elder, Nox, spoke, “…is a long story…”
She slowly approached Fonte and took her by the hand, guiding her to a circle of shrines. “Come here…we’ll catch you up…”
Fonte stared despondently at the grass beneath her feet. Still, she nodded and mumble an “okay.”
Nox sat in front of her own shrine, Fonte followed, having finally sat down after hours of wandering the ruins of a kingdom now long gone. The former sighed as she watched her fellow elders find their place. Pop and Rain sat off to the side while Sunn and Sett stayed perched on Gold’s shoulders like birds. Delos, having experienced old age far quicker than anybody else despite only being a few days Nox’s senior, found a way to sit on the grass not too far away from the others without hurting himself. The ancient-looking man silently swore when his mask started to fall apart, as it normally did when his light ran low.
“You remember our coronation…” Nox started.
“Of course,” Fonte sighed, “the twins were barely teenagers when it happened. I wish we had been able to give you all more time.”
“It could not be helped.” Nox spoke with an almost aggravated tone. “Lorelei and Marissa were dying, and you were already losing yourself before then. No matter if the poison was physical as it was with them, or mental as it was with you, the Seven Realms could not run with only three healthy elders. Combined with Kerta’s inconsolable state regarding your prognosis, that really only left Ezzard and Derek to run things. Given all the circumstances that forced our early coronation, I must reiterate…it could not be helped.”
Fonte simply looked at Nox, her eyes still sparkly with tears from before.
“Anyways…” The Vault Elder continued, “Not long we were left to take charge…His Royal Highness…”
‘had a child’ she wanted to say. But then she remembered that she had removed the memory of Prince Kier, and his counterpart Prince Resh, from the others’ minds. She didn’t need them suffering those memories right now. If anybody deserved to feel guilty for not saving them, it deserved to be her.
“He…what? Nox, what happened to King? Is he still with us as well?”
Nox silently wondered to herself why the previous ruler, Charles, had given his son such an on-the-nose name. The man must not have had room for creativity, having been born during the Oasis-Prairie War. She decided not to digress any longer, even if she considered Charles a fool for naming his one and only son “King.”
“…no.” She answered after pondering for far too long. “He is gone. We had to make progress without him, starting with those blueprints for The Eye.”
“How did that go?”
“It went…well.”
“A little too well.” Rain interrupted, “The ancient texts warned us of taking too much light for our own. We found out firsthand what happens when The Balance is disrupted to such an extreme degree, you get-“
“Those things from outside.” Fonte finished for her.
Rain nodded in confirmation. “The Eye exploded in front of us, before we could get it under control. Those things, those dark dragons, they appeared immediately afterwards. We think the explosion opened up a way to us from wherever the creatures of darkness were originally banished to.”
“What even are they?”
Everybody was silent again.
“…Monsters.” Gold simply said, but his voice suggested guilt in every word he spoke. “They’re just…monsters that eat light. Nothing more, nothing less.” He didn’t dare tell them that some of the dragons were once people, people who somehow corrupted into those forms with no escape other than death. If anybody deserved to feel guilty, it deserved to be him.
Gold continued. “They killed Delos…they killed Sunn…they killed Sett…they killed…me…they’re dangerous.”
“I couldn’t agree more.” Said Nox.
Gold felt a pressure in his chest grow slightly heavier.
“Did you fight them?” Fonte asked.
“Yes…” Nox sighed, “…after about a year of conflict, it was only me and the remaining ancestors of our kingdom that remained. I don’t remember how long we held out for, only that I pled to the Makers for our people’s redemption. I can’t recall how long we’ve been stuck in the Realm of Spirits for…but I do know that my calls were answered.”
Nox paused, and looked over to see a child with a brown cape approach her. She beckoned to them, and allowed them provide an offering of light to her realm. The child watched the starry sky fill itself with portraits of a world long passed, and received a nod of acknowledgment from each of the elders before they vanished from the Realm of Spirits. Nox looked back at Fonte.
“…the children…”
“Yes.” She smiled weakly at the woman.
“The Makers sent them down to…redeem our people.”
“At the very least, to redeem the ones who are stuck here as spirits.”
Fonte mused over this information for several minutes. Nox hoped that this would satisfy whatever questions the predecessor had for her group, but it did not. Fonte had one more question.
“Nox…”
“…Yes, Miss Fonte?”
“…Why didn’t you call somebody?”
“…”
“I can see how much older you all are compared to when I went to sleep. There had to have been about 10 years between your coronation and when the Eye exploded. There’s no way you couldn’t have noticed something awry with it. All of you are far too observant to have not noticed.”
Gold spoke up. “…I…I did mention on multiple occasions that…the Eye seemed to be acting more unstable with time…Rain can consolidate with me about that.”
Rain nodded, “I had my concerns as well…but…”
“But?” Fonte tilted her head curiously.
“We…didn’t want any of you to worry. While we felt that everybody that went to Orbit would likely be healthy again after about a year of rest, we really didn’t want to bother anybody. We figured that everybody would be tired…and that it would be less stress for everybody else if we handled it ourselves.”
“But we’re your predecessors!” Fonte started to shout. She felt offended for the elders she had worked with. Like their experience was somehow out of question. “I might not have been available, but the others would have been. Derek especially if there were issues with The Eye. And when the darkness had finally taken over…I don’t know why you wouldn’t have called Kerta or Ezzard, they love you guys! They would have fought tooth and nail for you and for your people.”
Silence, once more.
“You…you wouldn’t get it.” Pop simply stated. It was the first time he had said anything since Fonte had shown up.
“What…what is there to get? Pop, I don’t understand…”
“It’s complicated. You just…wouldn’t…get it.”
“Why?!” She pleaded with him.
Pop refused to answer. There was too much shame in his heart, in all of their hearts. It wasn’t about asking for help…it was about letting their predecessors, their caretakers, down. Fonte’s era had been one of peace and prosperity, surely they would all seem lesser if they couldn’t as easily find success…but how could he put that into words. How could he admit to Fonte that they were all ashamed to ask for help?
“…why?…” Fonte repeated herself. “…why won’t you look at me? Why won’t you talk to me?”
After several minutes without a response, Fonte stood up. “I’m not mad at you all…”
She paused. “I’m really not…I’m just…confused…and upset that you didn’t tell anybody…”
Fonte vanished into the darkness within the Realm of Spirits, eventually re-appearing back where she started…in front of a shrine: her shrine.
The light of the moon spilled in from a hole in the cave ceiling, the only source of illumination for Fonte as she buried her head into her sleeve-covered palms.

But for now the music swings from her lacquered radio
Yona Harvey
Ezzard Charles Drive, Cincinnati, Ohio, circa 1980
Snuffed out candlewick shadow
disappears in the shimmer
of her snuff cans. The silver
cylinders cradle the powder
she’s prone to pucker, her lower lip
smooth with the stuff. She takes
her time. This is her time. Her mind
space.
Her words pinch in slow motion.
Tho nobody’s home. & she ain’t
studin you. She knows when to
leave her imaginings. No tobacco-
cancer concerns this eve.
It’s all banana pudding feet
in slippers, vanilla wafer-colored
waves
and wigs. She’ll leave this realm
at sixty-five, much to her children
& husband’s surprise.

July 7 ZODIAC
They have very expansive desires throughout everyday life and they grow progressively because of the work they do. They are very conflicting, however they can astutely conceal what is inside. They appreciate life in thriving and extravagance. Wise and gifted, they handle life capably and arrive at a decent position eventually, one for which they are not qualified. They can likewise accomplish a decent situation in life because of their cleverness or duplicity. They by and large appreciate critical impact or control over others, yet don't have any desire to try sincerely or apply excessively. In any case, they are agreeable and kind in disposition, particularly cordial with their subordinates. They are described by incredible tirelessness and diligence, with which they stick to life and seek after their arrangements. They don't wander from their standards. They happily invest a ton of energy in one spot, in spite of the fact that their life overall is very factor. Their extraordinary emotionality puts them at huge gamble. Their profound responsiveness makes them sincerely associated with others and dependent upon their impact, as they accept the sensations of others as their own. Taking a stab at freedom and close to home distinction ought to be your first and most significant rule throughout everyday life. Blemishes: When these individuals are not ethically evolved, they can be perilous, desirous, and unforgiving. Notwithstanding, when they grow ethically, they start to communicate extraordinary instinct, certain magical capacities, and an extremely overflowing mental life. They need to begin their own home and, in spite of their extraordinary objectives, they invest energy with their loved ones.

Eu Sou um Cowboy no Barco de Ra
Ismael Reed - 1938-
'O diabo deve ser forçado a revelar qualquer mal físico
(poções, amuletos, fetiches, etc.) ainda fora do corpo
e estes devem ser queimados.' (Rituale Romanum, publicado
1947, endossado pelo brasão e introdutório
carta do cardeal Francisco Spellman)
Eu sou um vaqueiro no barco de Ra,
sidewinders nos salões dos tolos
mordeu minha testa como O
a falta de confiança dos egiptólogos
que não conhecem suas viagens. Quem era aquele
homem com cara de cachorro? eles perguntaram, no dia em que eu montei
da cidade.
Marms escolares com halitose não podem ver
o falso Nefertiti lascado na corrida por slick
alemães, o falcão atrás da cabeça de Sonny Rollins ou
a barba ritual de seu machado; um enrolamento de longhorn
seus sinos pelo Campo dos Juncos.
Eu sou um vaqueiro no barco de Ra. eu dormi
para baixo com Isis, Senhora do Boogaloo, pomba
no fundo de seu tesão, enfiou seu Wells-Far-ago
na ousada escapada do meio-dia. 'Comece a pegar o
azul', eu disse do alto da minha coroa dupla.
Eu sou um vaqueiro no barco de Ra. Ezzard Charles
da Trilha Chisholm. Pegou o baixo, mas eles
explodiu meu polegar. Alquimista em ringmanship, mas um
otário para a cruz direita.
Eu sou um vaqueiro no barco de Ra. Vamoosed de
o templo espero meu tempo. O preço do desejado
cartaz estava caindo, pseudônimo de fora da lei pegou minha posição
e novatos melancólicos me faziam dançar;
enquanto minha boca está
tiro de ferro tem suas câmaras emperradas.
Eu sou um vaqueiro no barco de Ra. Desossar em
o velho oeste eu espero meu tempo. Você deveria ver
me pegar essas latas de latas whippersnappers. EU
escrever as peças longas da motown para o retorno de
Osíris. Invente-os quando as estrelas olham para dormir
dirija-se aqui perto da fogueira. as mulheres chegam
nas costas de cabras e se jogam
meu Bowie.
Eu sou um vaqueiro no barco de Ra. Senhor do chicote,
o Garoto Loup Garou. Filho mestiço de Peixes e
Aquário. Eu seguro as almas dos homens em minha panela. Eu faço
o boogie sujo com escorpiões. eu faço os touros
fique quieto e foi o primeiro swinger a experimentar o sabor.
Eu sou um cowboy em seu barco. Papa Joana da
Ptá Rá. C/só um minuto, boneca?
Seja uma boa menina e
traga-me meu chifre de búfalo de pó preto
traga-me meu cocar de penas negras
traga-me meus ossos de cobra Ju-Ju
vá buscar minhas pálpebras de tinta vermelha.
Me dê minha sombra
Eu estou indo para a cidade depois de Set
Eu sou um vaqueiro no barco de Ra
cuidado Set aqui eu venho Set
para obter Definido para o pôr do sol Definir
para destronar Set para Set down Set
usurpador do sofá real rádio impostor
da sarça de Moisés
estraga-festas O hater da dança
vampiro fora da lei da via láctea

On this day: Ezzard Charles scores explosive second-round knockout of Bernie Reynolds
“The Cincinnati Cobra” strikes.
