About Chuck Zito
In the 1973 Golden Gloves, Zito fought the biggest bully in the Edenwald Projects (the Bronx) - Joe Pratt. To top it off, the Daily News had the picture of Pratt on the canvas!
Here's his account.. I wish I could find the picture of him standing over Pratt!
He did have some success in the Gloves, and once you even mention the prestigious tournament, Zito interrupts with the name that will live with him forever.
“Pratt,” he chuckles. “You never forget the name.”
Joe Pratt, Zito’s first Golden Gloves opponent, is described in his autobiography, Street Justice, as “The big guy in the corner. The one with muscles on top of muscles.”
Seconds into their bout, Zito ate a right hand that jarred him, but he survived the round, only to receive some dubious words of encouragement from his father.
“I came back to the corner and my father said, ‘Don’t worry. He’s not laying a glove on ya.’ I said, ‘Somebody better watch the referee, cause somebody’s kicking my ***.’”
Zito came back to win the fight by a second round knockout, but his boxing career wasn’t going to progress any further than the amateur ring.
