good talk

I don't want you buttholes reading my Blog, anymore.  On Sat. Nite, I saw Tyson Fury fight Otto Wallin of Sweden, at T-Mobile for the linear Heavyweight Championship, I arrived by foot.  4 months ago, Fury beat Tom Schwartz in 2 rounds, this was to be much-more difficult.  Otto, "28" (20-0, 14 KO's, and 1 no-contest),  at 6'5.5" and 236 lbs., seemed small compared to the 6'9", 254 lb., Tyson, who unlike past fights, had no fat.  To be only a tune-up for his forthcoming rematch with Deonte Wilder, Otto was unafraid, and determined to make the most of his opportunity.  Otto came-out firing against the quick, agile, giant Irish Traveler, considered the best HW in the world, and halfway thru the 3rd Rd., the Southpaw (comes-forward with his right-hand out), threw an overhand-left that opened, ha, a big-cut on Tyson's right-eyelid, with blood pouring down Tyson's cheek, the last time Tyson was cut was in 2010, a long-time ago.  An excellent-boxer, who shows different-looks, including early, the shoulder-defense, at the end of the Rd., Tyson returned to his corner, and the ministrations of his superb Cutman, Jorge Capitello, who closed the monstrous-cut.  Were it not for this being such an important-fight featuring such an important-fighter, Jorge could well have not gotten the chance to show his skill, most fights would have been stopped, and in this case, Otto would have been Winner by TKO, as it was, the doctor examined the cut, and let it continue.  This began a pattern of Otto working to make the cut-bigger, the blood-flowing, and Jorge stemming the flow at the end of the Rd. At the end of the 6th Rd., Otto took a step towards his corner, stopped, and wiped his glove and the blood across Tyson's face, in defiance (eh, Vikings).  In the later Rounds, Tyson, tho unable to see out of his right-eye, landed more and heavier blows than Otto, and won the 12 Rounds Decision on this basis.  Tyson was gracious in victory, being-interviewed in the Ring after the Decision, he twice said that Otto's father, who had recently died was looking from above, and proud of his son's effort,  Otto said  ...No one will question that I'm a good fighter... Indeed not
