...biggest factor in Wednesday's fight will be Hearn's incredible 78-inch reach. Leonard's reach is being advertised as 74 inches, but that is simply a promoter's lie. Sugar Ray's reach, in the past, has been 70 inches, even. Today it is 70 inches. That puts Leonard at an eight-inch reach disadvantage. To the uninitiated, fighting with an eight-inch disadvantage is like trying to hit a home run in the major leagues with a whiffle-ball...

...there are islands in the 2,000-mile-long Antillean archipelago that are still near pristine, islands without racial tension or xenophobia, islands with opalescent beaches, lush rain forests and brooding volcanic peaks, islands laved by waters that American Writer Lafcadio Hearn described a century ago as "flaming lazulite." Here the visitor will meet with hospitality and good humor as unflagging as the cool, dry trade winds...
