Another Chess victory.

Whats this souvenier belt there giving out of the Ukrainian champ? Is it there Amatuer champ or Vitali? If it's Vitali why not make a green one?

LL was going grey in his last few fights, I don't think it was worrying about paying the mortgage that caused it!

Looking every bit the distinguished ex champ these days. No doubt he was dying his hair late in his career - wouldn't want to give his opponents the idea they were facing an aging fighter now would he.

I was going to say that when did he get so massive. Would be good to see him get involved in training or something around boxing. He made a good if not always exciting ambasidor for the sport showing you didn't always have to be a criminal or a moron to be a great fighter.
