become interested in bowling through her daughter Debbie joining the Youth Bowling Council at Georgetown Howl became a Master Bowler and a Coach and Instructor Not always popular but give us a winner Pauls Call Paul Svoboda Herald Sportt Editor Boxing is a funny game Some call It the sweet science while others call It a violent abomination of sport Regardless of your own personal view of boxing it is the ultimate confrontation in sports You Just cant gel much more basic than sticking two dudes in a ring and letting them duke It One winner one decision But as simple and as final as the outcome should normally be In boxing that hasnt always been the case Especially in recent times You dont have to think that far back to find some questionable decisions If someone doesnt get knocked down and If someone doesnt clearly dominate a fight then boxing becomes little dif ferent from figure skating Let the Judges decide We same weirq decisions In Los Angeles In IBM Shawn 0 Sullivans sliver medal must sometimes be as equally frustrating to him as It Is satisfy He knocked his gold medal op ponent down twice And Seoul lost September Well enough has been seen and said already Lets Just say reached new heights Thats Hay Leonards TKO over Golden Boy Donny in last Mondays world championship light heavyweight- battle was good for boxing Now dont get me wrong As a good back baconeating Canadian I cheered for the Golden Boy too But the fight needed a clear win A victor and a vanquished There were too many questions and pointed fingers after Leonards controversial dancing win over Marvelous Marvin Ha filer The Marvelous One lost his bell claiming he hod been outdone theatrically and that Leonards dancing style impressed the Judges enough to win although fell Sugar Ray had never hurt him Of course Leonard is dous boxing talent More power to him If he knows how to Impress the Judges But even though it was the Golden Boy of Winnipeg who laid stretched out on the canvas on Monday night and not Sugar Ray as some Canadian boxing off may have preferred you cant argue with clear cut Maybe thats the way it should be decided in figure skating Volleyball playoffs High school
