    That was Toney at his best , slipping and sliding , shoulder roll
    Good chit

      No. Then it would turn into wrestling.

            Lol at Kenny B. It's almost like he doesn't even try to be subtle.
            It's Kenny B's way or no way, bub.

              What I say, you must obey, that's what Kenny Bay likes to say.

              Hey hey.

              Damn, that was gay. Lol

                  Back to the topic though, I always liked Steve Smoger's style. He let fighters fight, and didn't break up the action unless necessary. Seemed like his approach brought the dog out of boxers lol, he was the referee in a lot of classics.

                  How you doing in quarantine man?

                    Man, I just watched Toney-Jirov again and who was refereeing in that classic? Steve Smoger of course! Haha. I wish he was still refing for sure.

                    Oh man. Doing good. It's been pretty quiet in my area. Some cases and no deaths. I've been writing and doing my thing as usual. Not a lot of changes. Haha. How about yourself? How's that Cali life? Ha.

                      Yep, Smoger earned his spot in the Hall of Fame. I'm gonna check out Toney-Jirov again maybe later tonight, haven't seen that fight in ages.

                      That's cool man, you working on any new books? I still haven't read your last book man lol, but I have a hard copy on my desk, need to get on that.

                      Cali life is surprisingly not too bad yet. We're close to 25,000 cases and 1,000 deaths now which is sad, but while it seems like a lot, it's actually a lot less per capita than a lot of other states. They say this week will be the worst, and the curve will flatten after this. We'll see.

                      I'm actually still working full-time. The company I work for is privately owned, but all the work we do is for the government (military) so we're deemed essential business. But social life is lacking. Gyms are closed too, so I'm driving down to my parents house 3x a week to use my old weights and bench.

                      Glad you're doing alright bro. I f**king miss watching live boxing though.
