At the risk of giving too much love to the sport that frustrated white dudes so much they had to invent something entirely new in order to make themselves feel better, we thought we’d go ahead and mention that HBO will be airing the trilogy of fights between Mickey Ward and the late Arturo Gatti tonight, with an encore performance on Saturday. If you are a consumer of news, you probably heard that Gatti was found dead last weekend under circumstances that were, let’s just say, suspicious. A damn shame. If you haven’t seen his battles with Ward and if you have HBO, do yourself a favor.
Now, to make amends for all this boxing news, allow us to offer the following.


Boxer choked to death by a brazillian who’s considerably smaller than them? Who’s ever heard of such a thing? It couldn’t happen. You know, because to beat someone bigger than you, you’d need skill. And she wasn’t a boxer. Although she was brazillian. And she may have choked him… Right Floyd?
