Alas, Chris Arreola's lack of experience did him in against Vitaly Klitschko last night. I had a lot of hope for Chris, but Vitaly--at 38, looking in terrific shape after a four-year layoff--simply outboxed him round after round. Chris's corner threw in the towel after the 11th round.

HBO also showed a tape of the 9/19 bout between Floyd Mayweather and Juan Manuel Marquez. You won't find many fighters tougher than Marquez, but Floyd was at his best, boxed and danced him silly. Unanimous.


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
