Holley Mims
Holley Mims (February 10, 1929 – January 13, 1970) was a highly regarded middleweight boxer during the 1950s and 1960s. His overall record 64-27-6 (13 KOs)〔Cyber Boxing Zone - http://www.cyberboxingzone.com/boxing/mims-h.htm〕 meant that he spent much of his career ranked among the top ten boxers in the middleweight category. Among his notable fights was a loss to Rubin Carter in 1962, a fight that he took on one day's notice, having flown into New York just prior the fight; Mims dropped Carter in round four. Because of the loss, Mims dropped out of ''The Ring''s list of the top-ten middleweights contenders.Holley fought Sugar Ray Robinson and lost. Some say Robinson only win by decision and that Mom's was the real winner. Mims was known for fast hands and quick punches. They fought at what was Turner's Area on 14th and W sts NW DC. Mins fought with a team that met around age 16 or 17 at the YMCA 12st between S and T Sts NW. Their team, Mims, Garland Edwards (whom Mims fought twice and won, once by split decision), Rocky Farrell, Arthur Bethea, Sam Jefferson. and many other notable boxers and athletes (Walter 'Tommy' Thompson, weightlifter) over the years, trained at Finleys Gym owned by Jim Finley, well known and loved in DC.
Mims died of a kidney ailment at the age of 42. He was survived by a wife and two children.〔Lindsey, Gary P., "Holly Mims eulogized as a champion without a crown," ''Washington Afro-American'', January 24, 1970, p. 1〕
