good talk

Andy Ruiz had a "day" thrown for him, by his hometown, of Imperial, Ca., pop. 17 thou, with, all those Mexicans, crowding the 8 blocks of the main-drag, as Andy and his wife, Julie, went-past in a Rolls Royce.  Due to Andy taking Anthony Joseph's share of the Heavyweight Championship, he'll get most of the revenue from the rematch, just in Wembley, if it's to be there, the live-gate would be 60 thou, the pay-for-view, immense.  Andy, a dutiful-son, is buying his parents a house in San Diego (lot cooler there). Andy graduated from Imperial High at "17", but as a senior, he missed a week of school, as he had been in a fight, and hit in the back of the head with a 2x4, causing a concussion, and necessitating multiple-sutures.  Gary Bates, Harry Reid's long-time friend and former-bodyguard, passed away from cancer on July 11, 2014, with Harry flying-in for his funeral.  Harry had begun Gary's career as a Heavyweight Boxer, in which he had middling-success, but fighting amongst the best, such as Jerry Cooney and Ron Lyle. A kind and generous-person, he too, was a consistent blood donor.  Pre-deceased by 20 years, was Gary's brother, Jim, who was a good friend of my friend, Harvey.  Harvey said that Jim, also a realtor, was a real-badass, and met his end in a confrontation with some guy, over a woman, with Jim being shot-to-death.  If somebody thinks that they have no-chance of handling someone physically, they're more-likely to hit you from behind with a board,, or shoot you
