I introduced myself and he said he was Crawford Grimsley. Just flexing my Boxing knowledge and quite hammered I respond with I saw you fight Jimmy thunder on TNF.

I was instantly ashamed for saying it and his face went red. I didn't mean anything by it and he knew it. Very cool guy, we talked in between lap dances for the whole card.

So if it was a strip club in Miami, then I assume the lap dances were probably better than the card??!! BTW, your boys fight tonight and will be posted tomorrow morning.

Lap dances + big screen. You've never seen anything like tootsies. It's a former BJ's warehouse with over 100 girls working at all times. they bring them in from all over the country. It's heaven, though I dropped roughly $750.

$750, that is one expensive pay-per-view-event!

Evander Holyfield, USA, 1-0-0 (1) vs. Frank Herald, USA, 5-0-0 (5)

Lackawanna College Student Union, Scranton, PA, USA. Herald barely manages to make it out of the 1st round after suffering two knockdowns. The ref is asking Herald’s corner if he is okay to continue. Holyfield comes out and tries to take advantage of the lingering effects of the last round. Herald doesn’t look like he has completely recovered and is trapped in the corner taking merciless shots from his opponent. The referee does the correct thing and steps in to stop the fight.

Rocky Marciano, USA, 1-0-0 (1) vs. Star Harvey, USA, 1-2-0

Hynes Convention Center, Boston, MA, USA. Marciano gets off to a very bad start in the fight as the referee deducts a point for a low blow without even issuing a warning. Round two starts and Marciano is warned for another foul, this time hitting with the back of his glove. Marciano is methodically winning rounds but is losing points for fouls. Marciano loses another point in the third for another low blow and his trainer, Bill Gore, is just livid and is going after the referee during the one-minute break. Marciano goes to the body and puts Harvey down in the 4th. Harvey gets to his feet but has a lot of work to do to survive this round. The referee ends the round prematurely as Marciano is moving in for the kill. What is going on here tonight? The Rock goes to work again in the 5th and Harvey goes down again. This time, Harvey is unable to make it up by the count of ten as Rocky Marciano wisely takes the decision away from the judges by winning by (KO5).

Winner: Marciano
Result: (KO5)

That is a cool story. "Tootsies" sounds like the type of "BJ's" where I'd like to do my grocery shopping!
