Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Feds deny Minnesota aid request. If you take a crap in your own bed you shouldn't expect someone else to have to buy you a new mattress.
- Coronavirus: Why everyone was wrong. Very interesting points.
- Heh Heh
- Another example of why the Patriots are the Patriots.
- Nice appreciation of Marvin Hagler who I agree is the best middleweight of all-time.
- Under the radar but Iran seems to be suffering from an "epidemic of accidents" but strangely all the accidents seem to be place the Mossad would mark as targets.
My father and saw Marvelous Marvin fight at the Boston Garden when he fought the Irish boxing champion, whose name escapes me. We had just about ringside seats, and I think they cost about $10.00 each!! The Irish kid lost, and as he passed by us, his face looked like he was in a car accident. Brutal stuff.
ReplyDeleteI think it was Kevin Finnegan, who is listed as English, so it must have been 1978 in Boston.
ReplyDeleteI saw him fight at the Worcester Centrum. I agree that you probably saw him fight Kevin Finnegan who must have been a good draw at the Garden because Hagler fought him twice there.
ReplyDeleteWhile we are reminiscing, I heard a story about a fellow who tried to pick a fight with someone at a bar. That someone was Paul Pender, unbeknownst to the soon unconscious bar patron. Not sure of the veracity of that story, but Pender was a great.
ReplyDeleteThose bar stories almost always involve middleweights (or lower weight class) against a big guy who is a bully. Love those stories.
