To put something out of its misery. As in the ending of
the Disney film Old Yeller, where the young boy puts a
bullet between the eyes of his beloved pooch who's gone
rabid or old or something.
On a cold and dreary evening in Carson, California HBO
unmercifully brought a grinding halt to its World
Championship Boxing series. The venue was as empty as I
have ever seen it, and the few fans that were in
attendance groaned, cat called and booed throughout the
entire show. Whoever the dude was that was doing the
Donkey in distress impersonation should be commended for
his efforts. He alone kept the crowd entertained.

Wilder vs. Fury Third Man In The Ring:
Jack Reiss Discusses 12th Round Knockdown & More
By William Trillo
Photos: Al Applerose & German Villasenor
On Saturday night in Los Angeles the heavyweight
championship was on the line when Deontay Wider and
Tyson Fury squared off to see who the dominant big man
in the business was. The man put in charge to make sure
The Marques of Queensbury rules were enforced was Jack
Reiss. By now most boxing fans are familiar with Reiss
as he has been the referee for many of boxing's biggest
recent battles.
Reiss, who is no stranger to handling the heavyweights,
had his hands full over the course of the first 11
rounds and he was doing his usual exemplary job. But it
was in the 12th round that the ref showed his experience
and composure. That was when Wilder unleashed a wicked
one two combination that put Fury flat on his back. Most
in the house including Wilder thought this one was over.
Pound4Pound spoke to Reiss on Sunday afternoon and asked
him what was going through his mind at that moment and
how he handled the situation.

Gvozdyk Knocks Stevenson Out In 11th Round
By Daniel Cloutier
QUÉBEC CITY, Canada — The Las Vegas bookies know boxing
very well. They established the Russian Oleksandr
Gvozdyk favourite by 2-1, and Saturday evening in the
ring of the Videotron Centre in Québec City. the Russian
became the first fighter to beat the Montrealer southpaw
Adonis Stevenson in a world championship bout. Interim
champion, mandatory challenger, Gvozdyk (16-0-0) became
the new WBC light heavyweight champion of the world in
beating Stevenson (29-2-1) by KO at 2.49 minutes of the
11th round. Few weeks ago, several boxing writers in
