good talk

Sat. Nite's IBF Welterweight (147 lbs.) Title Fight on Showtime between Shawn Porter and Kell Brook was pretty good.  Shawn Porter is all-out aggression and Britain's Kell Brook proved to be the boxer-puncher who could handle it.  A 2.5 to 1 underdog, Kell was able to smother a lot of Shawn's punches coming in and counterpunch effectively and otherwise landed the crisper and more telling punches (Yeah, and I took Boxing as a Phys. Ed course at Ohio State and got a "B" so I know a lot about it).  In the Pre-Fight they said that Shawn was from Cleveland, his Wiki says that he was born in Akron and for sure he went to High School at Stow, an Akron Suburb.  Akron is a real good boxing town, much better than the much bigger Cleveland, the Colossus of the North.  Both Fighters were undefeated with two-thirds of their victories by Knockout, neither had ever been down, to watch such a Contest was very exciting.  2 years ago I was on one of my Greyhound Trips and was standing in line at the Cincinnati Greyhound Station when the man in front of me turned-around and volunteered concerning the 2 others with him  ...These 2 Boys beat the Hell out of each other and so I have to send them back to Georgia, and they're my best workers...  It would seem like he could have just let them patch things up if their work was so good, but if there were people watching this...  It looked like the guy who was 10 years older but bigger had gotten the better of it.
