Jorge Maysonet vs Hugh Kearney (First punch of the fight knockout - Brutal)

Are you implying some kind of butterfly effect type of casual influence, with the force of Maysonet's kayo blow sending a rippling shockwave out into the ether, making its way to an expecting Mrs. Russell and triggering an induction of labor?


...yeah, that checks out.

 

Also that is maybe the sweetest 1-2-1 (a personal fave combination of mine) I've ever seen. The cross was on the body, which means the jabs - in particular the follow-up one - are what really did the job and switched off the lights in Kearney's attic.

 

Jorge really was the spiritual descendant of Pipino Cuevas - powerful as hell, a bit vulnerable (more so in their latter days after their chin was cracked a time or five too many), not slick by any means but with some underrated skill (even if most of their craft was just a vessel for delivering those big payloads), and both had Lil' apples that fell WELL short of the progenitor tree. (both Jorge Maysonet Jr. and Pipino Cuevas Jr. being proportionately fleas on their daddy's culos - but, curiously, both also inheriting some measure of the vaunted power...at least insofar as they were able to easily crush a bunch of cans...)

 

From "Bronx, NY?" How about THE Bronx, numbnuts.

 

I've always thought place names with a mandatory preceding article to sound utterly pretentious.

Eat my ass, Hague and Vatican!

 

Sean O'Grady's medical explanation is priceless. According to the Okie Potato Eater, the punch to the point of the chin cut off the jugular vein and caused the KO taking all your senses... even tho the jugular vein carries blood from the brain and not to the brain, even tho getting choked out takes a sustained pressure... oh well, MENSA is calling, Sean.

 

Have you ever met someone from the Bronx who was pretentious? Maybe the Hague, but not the Bronx!

 

No they're wonderful people, I've been given many a "Bronx cheer".

 

Well, to quote Billy Conn (not with perfect accuracy, just going from memory without corroborating w/ Google, but thereabouts) - "What's the use of being Irish if you ain't thick?"
