>>Then, following the longest entrance in history, Prince Naseem Hamed shakes off all the Hoo-do and has to look reality in the eye, and gets his showboat sunk within sight of millions of gleeful fans. Does this mean the boxing authorities can quit sucking butt and impose sensible regulations on Hassem's freak show. How about just coming in, taking the robe off, touch gloves, and bing, go to it at the bell. Wow, what a refreshing thing that would be. <<

When I watched the classic Tyson fights last night, I was struck by the difference in the venue (even though it the same Vegas). The side show atmosphere was not visible and the focus was simply on the ring and the boxers.

Made for a much more enjoyable fight, imo.

Really good piece, thanks LP..
