K.O.W. – Dud Dynamite

This installment of the No Mas Knockout of the Week is borne of a conversation I had this weekend at a party. A guy who knew of my interest in the fistic arts was asking me about Oscar/Floyd, why it was such a big deal, and how big a deal it actually was. I tried to explain, and he bought it. But then he asked me what the last fight was that was as big as this one in terms of hype and anticipation.

That was an easy question. And whereas I imagine that Oscar/Floyd will be a highly competitive affair, this fight, though enormous in its scope, was really nothing more than the final sputtering act of a long Shakespearean tragedy of the ring, one that ended with a gigundous straight right hand.
