Kiss came with solid credentials in this clash of 20-year-olds, but Hammer, from Dortmund, Germany and managed by SES Boxing who staged this show, left no doubt why she is the foremost female middleweight on the planet at the moment. When Christina finally put her foot on the gas in round seven, there immediately was a huge gap in class visible and she severely punished Kiss to the extend that the girl from Budapest declined to come out for round eight. “Had she kept on taking these kind of punches, I would have become perplexed!

Every hour, a different expert hosts some form of guerrilla counseling on TV. It's because of all this competition that daytime- television experts now resemble academics in specialization. On the talk shows, there aren't just adultery experts, there are commentators for every form of illicit intercourse. This year alone I've seen two men and a woman who specialize in my-wife-slept-with-my-daughter's-boyfriend-who-is-a- high-school-quarterback cases. I've always assumed these pundits chose their fields for some autobiographical reason. So, a few days after Mike Tyson was disqualified for biting Evander Holyfield, I offered a half-dozen talk shows my services as a "biting expert." I'm someone who knows a lot, I said on their voice mail, about "chomping on flesh under extreme stress." Anxious for a cannibal, three panting producers called me back within two hours. I shared with them the story of how, in an unfortunate incident at summer camp when I was 11, the other cabin nerd tried to push my head into a toilet. With my forehead just inches from the water, I did the only thing I could think of: I lifted my head up and bit him on the cheek.
