Hope Joe does better than Willie, Mel. they're both good kids. That, one point lost to Payano hurts me. But that's part of the game.

Did you see the score cards? Was McW playing catch up at the end? Or was it close the whole bout?

Wonderful young men. :) They emailed me current pictures after the Pan Ams last year. They have really grown up!
