I'd pictured more like the fighter who who was down couple of times, and was pressed against ropes hardly trowing any punches back - but mocking an opponent who's wondering 'why this guys isn't going down already?!' Referee was about to stop the one sided slaughter - when that one punch came...

"Black Sparrow authors that no one reads." ...like %$#@^& Martin publishing that jack-off andrei codrescu...
