Master Class

Just watched Miguel Vazquez expose the highly favored Breidis Prescott on ESPN. It was like watching a surgical student ace a practicum. Keep your eye on Vazquez. He's something else.

Sad News

Alexis Arguello, mayor of Managua and one-time near-household name, is dead at 57, probably by his own hand. Of the several appreciations I've read since I heard the news, Bill Gallo's is the best; take a moment to remember or learn about a fighter whose story is worth hearin:. 81-7, 65 knockouts, no draws. Men retire having fought fewer total bouts than Arguello won by KO. At rest now.
