Master what do you care about 1776.. Your ancestors was still in Punjab at that time. Why don't you discuss Amritsar?

I am English and the US should come back under our colony.

Triple 'B'

Jimmy Young vs. Ossie Ocasio 'I'

Jimmy walked into the Ring very thick-waisted. He was listed at 220 lbs. compared to
Ossie Ocasio's listed weight of 205 lbs.

Yet, Jimmy looked at least another +5 Pounds heavier.

"The Bout"

Round 1 >
Jimmy took the lead, and slowly pressed as Ossie stayed on the outside. Jimmy landed a
few decent body-blows, but Ossie was 'defiant' and not the least bit intimidated by Jimmy,
as he dropped his hands and smiled.

Ossie made a good charge late, and backed Jimmy up to the front-left Neutral-Corner and
tagged him with a good overhand right.

{A 'close' Round, that I scored 'Even'}

Round 2 >
Ossie was fast here, and took the play away. Jimmy looked very slow, as he was out-sped
by the younger 22 year-old Puerto Rican. Ossie did land a few 'crisp' punches into Jimmy's
head.

Ossie was very aggressive, and backed Jimmy up for much of the Round, while landing an
assortment of punches to the body, and 'slashing-punches' to the head.

{A 'solid' Round for Ossie}

Round 3 >
Ossie was again 'spry', and scored with a variety of fast but light-punches. Jimmy was again
'sluggish' and did little other than landing a few punches into Ossie's body.

Ossie was again aggressive and simply out-worked Jimmy, who was content to wait and
counter, and then hold.

{A 'good' Round for Ossie}

Round 4 >
Ossie was again aggressive early, and was the one making the fight over the first {1:45},
by scoring with light-combinations.

Ossie was 'sticking' out his left-arm like a measuring-stick, while poking at Jimmy's
right-eye. Jimmy 'complained' of being thumbed.

Then Jimmy started to 'wake up', and he made a solid charge by raking over Ossie with
a steady attack, while driving him backwards starting at the {2:00 Mark}.

Jimmy was using his size and harder punches to dominate the latter part of the Round
from the {2:00 to the 2:45 Mark}.

But Ossie made a strong-charge late at the {2:45 Mark}, when he tagged Jimmy with a
barrage near the back-right Ring area, and then drove Jimmy into the back-right Corner with
several hard punches to the head.

{ I scored this Round 'Even'}
