his tongue during a match? In 1974-75 I saw something on PBS that showed black and white boxing footage from anywhere between 1930 to 1965 of a boxer go down and spit two chunks of *something* out on the mat. I realize that it may have been his mouthpiece, but I remember them looking like dark, bloody pieces of meat. And what stands out most was the look of helplessness and horror on his face as he turned toward the camera and his people wiped the blood off his mug. Please, ask your friends if they know anything about this.
