This is an honor that is well-deserved."<br> <br> Stanick went on to say, "Sammy told me he did not know about an article until he saw it when he had walked into a gas station---and went on to say that he made the front page!" <br> <br>  As the Journal reported in their article, Sammy Horne was a household name in the Williamston/Pelzer area in 1978-1979. He was not only an outstanding boxer, but he was known for his engaging personality and being extremely tough. In his time of fighting professionally he was featured three times on ESPN.<p>After high school, Horne began boxing at the age of 19. As an amateur he had a 32-2 record with 24 of those bouts as knockouts. He also won two Golden Glove Championships, and two AAU Championships, and then shortly thereafter turned pro. For full details of Horne's boxing professionally, refer to the Journal Article.<br> <br> Stanick added, "I would like to congratulation Sammy for his 2020 induction into the Carolinas Boxing Hall of Fame. It is well-deserved for this great champion in the sport." </p> <div class="divclear"> <br></div>  <div class="page-splits splits-xtramargin"> <br></div>    <div class="divclear"> <br></div> <br><br>  <div class="ad-blank-60"> </div>  <br><br> <h2 class="title td-left">More About the Carolinas Boxing Hall of Fame<br> </h2> Through the years the Carolinas has produced many outstanding boxers; men such as Heavyweight Champions Joe Frazier, Floyd Patterson and James �Bonecrusher� Smith; Olympians Bernard Taylor and Calvin Brock and World Bantamweight Champion Kelvin Seabrooks; National Champions Billy Bridges and Pappy Gault to mention only a few.<br> <br> But it is the garden variety of boxers, trainers, officials, promoters and managers that made the sport particularly in the forties and fifties, when literally hundreds of clubs abounded in such places as Belmont, where outstanding boxers were produced in a gym literally under the jail; Sumter, S.C.; Lou Kemp�s dark but feisty North Charlotte emporium on 36th street; Chick McCurry�s gym in the lower part of Lincolnton; the military bases at Ft.
