The Calzaghe fight was good. Kessler lost on the score cards by ~5 rounds, but neither the score nor his bruised mug told the whole story. Fact is, if you only counted how many times a fighter made the other guy say 'ouch', you would have to give the nod to Kessler. Now, I don't subscribe to this McMinnish critique of boxing- that fighters are gaming what ought to just be a pure fight when they score a victory without actually hurting the other guy. If, "it's a sport" isn't a strong enough a defense of the smite-free victory, I would simply argue this: If the feather fisted fighters punches were so weak, why didn't the other guy just walk through them and knock the pitty-pattter out.
Brian Regan Friday night. The only comedian I have heard spoken of as highly as Regan was Richard Pryor. The Pryor Fans, however, seem to mainly be other comedians. Regan, on the other had gets it from all sides. I was going to regal you a list of the great comedians and why Regan is better, and then I was going to write another list, which contains the Michael Jordans of the world. (Or should I say Tiger Woods of the World). This later list was going to mention by dislike of both Blonde On Blond, and The Times are A-Changing the only two Dylan albums I have listened to. (I swear i'm giving them fair shakes.)
But then I got distracted, thinking about an old comedian I used to like, who is apparantly alive an well. Click on the Comic Relief Link on the Fun Stuff page to see him as I remember him.
