Raging Bull

My younger cousin Craig works for the Denver Police Department. He's insanely strong and, more importantly, big-hearted and even-keeled. He loves to remind me that when we were younger, I would use my long-gone size advantage to pin him down and make him say that I was his Supreme Commander.

I thought intra-police boxing tourneys were just a plot device cooked up on NYPD Blue to let Zack from Saved By the Bell avenge a wronged girlfriend. I was as wrong as wrong can be. Not only do they exist, but they take place in Bermuda.

My aunt sent along this gripping story from the island's paper recounting Craig's fight.

"Craig Klukas (Denver PD) beat Gareth Dixon (BDA Police) by retirement
Round 1: Gone in 20 seconds. Klukas comes flying out of his corner like a raging bull. Dixon takes one look, makes arguably the most sensible decision of the night and runs for cover.
Klukas chases him round the ring before the ref gets the message and stops the fight."

I've read it ten times and can't stop laughing.
