FOOLS WITH GLOVES

Believe it or not, when I was in college, I use to host Friday Night Fights at my fathers gym. Being the son of a world famous boxing trainer inticed a lot of my peers to "give it a shot". because I spent basically my entire childhood, boxing and wrestling, I was pretty much deadly, and always held back as not get anybody hurt, with the excpetion of this kid named Kenny. "Kenny Smooth" from chicago, I'm from the south side, blah, blah, blah "I don't care who you think you are I'ma kick you azz friday night" he would yell across the cafeteria. (Arizona State Univ, large cafeteria). Needless to say Kenny vs. Janks had a very large pre-fight build up, typically there was to 20-30 folx there, but on that night, easy 100, (girls showed up too). The upside of using my ole mans gym, you guessed it, VIDEO CAMERA, for review and training purposes! Well Janks vs. Kenny lasted, I wanna say 1:22 seconds? (somehow I remember the timcode and a bunch of us counting it one night). Probably the hardest left hook I have ever connected with in my entire life. Poor Kenny, just laying there, head gear slightly twisted towards his left ear, dazed and confused. And while kenny smooth continued to talk trash for his remaining 3 semesters there (something about academic eligibility, I never got the whole story), I never really heard any more of his challenges directed towards me.

PS ~ what got me reminiscing was, whenever somebody land that fight endeding wallop thud of a final blow, you always hear this "OOOOOUUUUUU", and that hook to Kennys chin was a delightful mix of men and women, almost like the hallejuah chorus.
