The fight fans watch the judge

Associated Press · May 1, 1973

Blonde Carol Polis, who says she believes she's the only lady fight judge in the business, watches a fight in Philadelphia and finds many of the fight fans watch her instead. She's a wife of a fight referee and mother of four and says "I love it--it's lots of fun." Mrs. Polis, 36, has only one problem when she's not assigned as a judge, she can't find a seat at ringside. Press row is off limits to women and paid fight fans won't give up their ringside chairs.
