They must admire his braids. :conf

Don't ever underestimate the black hairdressing demographic! They were critical in Obama's reelection. (on the strength of Michelle's fierce 'do more than his actual "Forward" platform)

 

Narh vs. Ortiz would be fun and/or funny, actually. :think

 

Round 10

Lawson has given up on the knockout and is content to skate in a box around Narh, jumping away to dodge his body jabs. Lawson stalks and throws single up-jabs and lunging headhunting left hooks, only grazing. Very few clean punches either way in these final minutes. Both pretty negative.

10-9 Lawson

99-89 Lawson
