From Barre’s "Young Firpo" and St. Albans’ Ollie Dunlap to this weekend’s Golden Gloves championships, boxing has had a long and colorful history in Vermont. Former boxer Alan Rubel has co-written the book, Gloves: The Stories of Vermont‘s Greatest Boxers, Trainers and Personalities. VPR’s Jane Lindholm talks with Ruble and former boxer, Mo LaFrance, about the people who shaped the sport in Vermont.
