Marquess of Queensberry

They say that "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!" But last Saturday night there was a "bout" in a hotel arena matching a martial arts athlete versus a forty year old "boxer". The martial fellow was handicapped as he was not permitted to kick with his feet. After waltzing around for nine plus rounds the referee stopped the contest. Dan Barry writing in the NYTimes called it the "fleece of the century" further commenting "The match belonged here - deserved quarantining here!" But the contestants embraced each other as they clutched their million dollar checks. Apparently, the odor didn't stay in Vegas.
