good talk

Jose Napoles died recently (April 13, 1940 to August 16, 1979), considered Cuba's greatest professional boxer (88-7-54 KO's), he twice held the unified Welterweight (147 lbs.) title, making a total of 13 defenses, and is a Charter Member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame (1990) in Canastota, NY, gotta go there, my friend Harvey, has been. Known as "Mantequilla" (Butter), Jose left Cuba in 1962, after Castro banned professional-sports, and settled in Mexico City, on April 18, 1969, he defeated Curtis Cokes at the Forum, by TKO in the 13th, taking the unified Welterweight Championship (he got this opportunity by stopping Akron's Fate Davis, in Mexico City), and repeated this 2 months later in the 10th Rd., the day after he gained the Welterweight Championship, Mexico's President Gustavo Diaz Ordoz granted Jose, Mexican Citizenship. I was there, on Sept. 14, 2019, when Tyson Fury suffered that huge-gouge, between his right eyebrow and eyelid, it was making Us Crowd queasy, looking at it, in his fight with Otto Wallin.  Tyson and Deontay Wilder are scheduled to hook-up for their 2nd fight on Feb. 22, and for the past 2 months, Wilder has been saying, that he's going to re-open the, ha, hole, and that it doesn't matter if it's held together by plastic-surgery, by glue, or whatever, that he's going for it.  This didn't sound as nice as, Merry Christmas, but it's a blood-sport, where all weaknesses are exposed, supposedly, it's all-healed, I don't see how it could-be so quickly, I like Tyson and hope that's the case.  Deontay is a great-fighter, I've seen him, unique in that he's 6'7", and only 217 lbs., I weigh a little-more, he gets all that torque, and doesn't have all that weight hanging on his joints, ha, I guess, he's considered the most powerful-puncher in the World
