Can I be distracted by a smoke show of a ring girl? Yes. But there were no ring girls at this show.

And I'm not a big fan of Mars bars.

Interesting little fact.... the trainer of one of the fighters tried to talk me into, you know, maybe not being totally 100% unbiased and fair.

Hahah. How did you respond to his comment?

I told him that I have a strange way of scoring professional boxing, and I've been doing it for a long time. If you win the round, you get 10 points. If you lose the round, you get 9 or less, and knockdowns and deductions could come into play. Winning the round does NOT include whose hometown we're in, or who sold the most tickets.

He said, "Now I'm not telling you how to score. I'm just sayin'...."

I said, "I know exactly what you're saying. I've been in boxing a long, long time. If your kid wins the fight, he wins the fight. If not, train harder and get better. You're fighting a professional opponent tonight, dude."

He was not amused. But I sure as hell was.
