Vic Darchinyan --Boxing's Rebounder?
MooPig "Sports and Gambling Department" has a Question...
by Pat Darnell and The Ball-Chinians
That's helluva name this boxer has -- Darchynian -- makes Men in Black seem almost like Prophets. Are today's dying out Boxers actually Alien Species from "out there?"
Aliens on our staff are being tight lipped about it all... we are impossibly unsure about Boxing as a thriving sport since our close coverage of the Beijing Olympiad.Boxing was noticeably forgotten and not attended. The only " judges" for boxing events that Beijing could find were Chinese women street vendors, from rural districts. Everyone else had found an excuse to not judge boxing, kind of like skipping jury duty here in USA.
###Boxing News Flash :: "...how do you rank him, [Darchinyan] ? ...what's your opinion of him... "...me, i think he's [Darchinyan] something special and will be the next big draw in boxing.. if he wins his next fight he'll be a 3 division champ.. he's quietly making a name for himself..he has power,personality and his boxing skills are improving"
He [Darchinyan] is one of my current favorite fighters. I glad that he finally made it into the top ten P4P list.

Me and my brother used to laugh at Vic [Darchinyan] (cause of his cocky attitude), then he got KO'ed and acted as if he didn't, and was ready to bang again...Classic!!!
Then he [Darchinyan] rebounded, and he has been destroying people ever since. He has learned from his only loss, and it has made him a stronger fight. He has learned how to use his right hand -- he was sort of like pac, a one handed fighter -- and it has made him that much better.
He [Darchinyan] has speed, power, and loves to bang! What is there not to like?
P.S. He wins the rematch with Donire.

I met Leon Spinks one night. He came in to a honky-tonk I was playing at. He was shorter than me and had a paunch. I actually remember thinking at one point; "I wonder if I could take him".
We sat and talked for a while, had a couple of beers (he was a St. Louis guy before all the stuff). A couple of topics were; the IRS (we were both going through that crap), Ernie Shavers (hard hitter and underrated).
Leon had the speech problem that famous comedians jumped on (was it a childhood thing or getting hit too many times?-stuff you don't ask over a few beers). But, it didn't take me long to accustom myself and fully understand him.
At one point he was standing up to approach a used, spent barfly for a dance and his right hand man grabbed him by the arm and said; "Leon, put your damn teeth in!" and sort of shrugged as if to say "here we go with this shit again"...
Driving home through the silent hills, well after the witching hour, I thought to myself; "You know what? That cat whupped Muhammad Ali's ass!!!"
Gosh, darn... what a great experience! Just another gig, another night of grit and gumption... I'm thinking Spinks son boxes now.
Also, great writing ya Boheme, ya...
