PC Moment: Twenty gents from the city’s energy industry took the bold step of signing up for the September 20 inaugural Knock Out Child Abuse professional boxing match, with proceeds going to  the Children’s Assessment Center. Before these guys put on the gloves in the ring at the new swank  Revaire, they will go through extensive training with former heavyweight boxing champ Lou Savarese.
