Of Baby Bulls and Babies
I would like to extend congratulations to my esteemed colleague, David “Large” Larzelere, and his lovely wife Nicole on the birth of Reginald Larzelere aka “Reggie Large”. I would also like to extend congratulations to both of them on the name Reginald. My two boon companions Large and Bud Schmeling, proprietor of Black Betty, both had their first children within weeks of each other. First Schmeling set the bar high by throwing Maximo (Max Schmeling) down on the birth certificate, then Large drops the A-Bomb of Reggie. Fellas, the pressure is on I-Berg big time. So right now I just want to let the world know that my first masculine child will be named Oscar in tribute to both Gamble and Madison. Don’t anyone go trying to Bogart my moniker.
With that said, Large is going to be on paternity leave for an unknown period of time. Right now he’s busy taping Reggie’s right hand behind his back so he can work on his lefty swing. In the meantime even though I am, as always, days late and dollars short, I do want to ask if anyone else noticed while Juan Diaz was dissecting Michael Katsidis, a certain resemblance between Katsidis cornerman Brendon Smith and Murray from “Flight of the Concords”.
During several round breaks as Smith doled out his insights and tips–”Michael you’re fighting a lovely fight. You’re looking fabulous in there. Keep up the great work.”–I actually wondered if HBO had staged some kind of cross-promotion where they actually put Murray in with Katsidis for a “Flight of the Cornermen” sort of thing.
This is the kind of boxing insight you can expect with Large laid up, so hopefully he finishes Reggie’s lefty drills soon and gets back on the stick.

Well that explains why they called roll between every round.

Is it me, or does Reggie Large have a bit of a Kelly Pavlik look to him?

Hey Large – don’t know if I prefer Large or Black D – either way, congrats on the new addition; the kid looks great and I’m sure he’s a ton of fun. Keep up the good work
