Mr. LIW went to the fights. I don't like the fights, so I stayed home. I'm going to have a beer.

14. These two guys?
"Boxing Tonight" comes from the Empire Pool, Wembley, and features the main heavyweight bout between Jack Bodell, British and Empire Heavyweight Champion, and Sir Kenneth Clark. It's the first time these two have met, so there should be some real action tonight.

(ding)

This, then, is the height of the English Renaissance, the triumph of Classical over Gothic... the... (boof)


He's down! Sir Kenneth Clark is down in eight seconds! But he's up again... he's up at six...

The almost ordered facades of Palladio's villas reflects the... (boof)

And he's down again! And I don't think he's going to get up this time...

...eight... nine... ten!

No, so Jack Bodell has defeated Sir Kenneth Clark in the very first round here tonight, and so this big Lincolnshire heavyweight becomes the new Oxford Professor of Fine Art.

18. I'd have gone to see this one:
And here comes the Champ now, and he seems in good shape to meet the Killer once again. Before an audience, some of them will have paid $920,000 million for the privilege of seeing this boy get beaten up. And there's the bell...

And a left and a right and a right jab that's taken the Champ's shoulder off! And here's the Killer again with a right and another left and a bash with a hammer and a terrific smack with a heavy thud right into the skull, and there's a gaping hole right through the Champ's body now! And now the Killer's working on the cut eye with a series of beautifully placed punches, and the head's coming loose! The Champ must try and keep his head on!

The Killer's kicked him in the groin and he's bitten half his left buttock off, and the referee's stepped in with a warning there. What a plucky fighter this Champ is! He's fighting as well as I've ever seen him! Must be losing blood at a rate of a pint a second now! It's everywhere! Certainly those who paid one and a half million dollars for those ringside seats are really getting their money's worth! They're covered in it!

And... HIS HEAD'S OFF! His head that's come off in so many fights is off in the 31st second! It's rolled away down to the left... but what's happening? The Killer's being talked to by the referee. There's the Champ... plucky little body racing around the ring, trying to find his opponent.

And the Killer has been disqualified! He's been disqualfied! This great fighter who has killed more than 20 people in his career has at last been defeated by this courageous, headless little southpaw from New York! And there's a great roar here as the referee raises the arm of the new World Heavyweight Champion! What a pity the rest of his body wasn't there to see it!
