I like to read boxing writing, because when it's good it's great and when it's bad its like this phrase, from Johnny Bellino's quarterly Chicago boxing mag, Boxing Shorts:

"The superbly conditioned [Tony] Zale, after being punished by Billy Boy Patterson for 12 rounds, knocked Patterson out so hard in the 13th, that the sweat flew off the loser's head and made a rainbow in the ring lights!"
