https://helloxoss.wixsite.com/helloxos/post/15-jeanette-santiago I also wrote about George Foreman the week before. Let me see if I can find it. I hope you enjoy it!
I think you must certainly be singular to work Val Kilmer, the Spice Girls and boxing into the same blog, haha. I wanna hear about your trip to Tombstone!
you should see the next one which is up now where i combine the Spice Girls, Horsegirl and God! lol That trip was so long ago. You walk right through the streets where the thing happened. Kilmer was there himself that day but he got angry and left so I did not meet him in person. I was pretty bad-ass back then and needed to pee so I decided to get on the Santa Fe wagon lol... You can smell history in Tombstone. In fact you can buy a replica of the paper that came out the day after the fight, for about 3 dollars!!! A little known fact: Wyatt Earp was also a celebrity boxing referee and he refereed world title fights.....
He became notorious for the Fitzsimmons-Sharkey fight in San Francisco, where he was referee. Sharkey went down and Wyatt awarded him the fight by DQ saying it was from a low blow, which the crowd apparently didn’t see and disagreed. The call was roundly booed and Wyatt was villified. He left San Fran for good shortly after, ‘run out of town’ you might say. The controversy got national newspaper coverage and it is said that more people knew of Earp from the bad call in the big fight when he died than did from the gunfight. (The OK Corral thing got bigger after he died when some books were published and way bigger when Hollywood began myth-making.) Some years later the fight was reported as a fix but it was not known if Earp was in on it. Pretty sure that ended his days as a ref, haha.
