I boxed in my younger years. It's a lot like politics -- only losers have the need to make excuses or blame others. And sometimes, they are correct. Judges can be corrupt. And promoters? Heck, one need only think of Don King, the president-elect's mobster friend.

Like back when I boxed, I have a very strong dislike of losing. My goal was always to get the opponent back in the ring, where I could take it out of the hands of judges and promoters.

At this point, my focus is on what needs to be done in the near future and beyond to prevent the loss of democracy, and the suffering of human beings.
