    It's a dingy, with a big yellow Number 10 painted on its side, containing the January 76 issue of Boxing Illustrated. :good

    Where the above words the what was said in Frazier's corner after the bell sounded to end round 14? If so, it sounds like Frazier was asking for Futch to act.

    You're right about it being after the 10th round, but I always thought that was fairly common knowledge. I had no idea that the story had changed. :lol:

    So if i joined the NYT online Dinner, i'd find this article? I've thought prior about joining because a lot of google searches lead me to it then of course i can't get the damn full article.

    Yes. Well, I think it was the NY Times. In fact, i'm near certain but it could have been another source I suppose. :huh

    But you just posted the past few times because you thought you had to. Don't bother, save yourself the embarrassment. :good

    Or at least come up with something original, not just "New York Times :lol: " add some flavour, like John Thomas did with the coin slot. Look, I know you're a Jock and cracking a smile is almost as hard as getting a round of drinks in, but at least give it a go.
