In the late 1950's amateur boxing in Pittsburgh was popular. These Golden Gloves participants competed frequently to hold their titles. The fighter seen here (4th from left) is heavyweight Buddy Moore, one of the most prominent figures in Pittsburgh boxing. He trained under his father, legendary local trainer Lee Moore.
