What is recorded here

Donegall Pass still wears a blue plaque for Clara Copley, the boxing promoter who lived there from 1866 to 1949. She may have watched heavy men breathe in dark rooms, arranging fights while Northern respect and appetite collided. Ma Copley turned force into spectacle, and the pass remembers her because she made visibility possible.
