Harry was a one-time amateur boxer, so he may have some pugilistic skills remaining. He is also old, and when the enforcers from the Las Vegas casinos showed up on his doorstep, he didn’t slam the door quickly enough. He got rolled and punched all across the floor, “exercise machines” will do that to you.

That right eye looks like he is left permanently with limited vision, as the injuries may have been much more severe that first reported. One wonders, though, how much more permanent brain damage was done in years past during his days as a boxer in the ring. Aren’t football players now claiming their life quality and mental capacity are now diminished through their years of hard physical contact sport? And isn’t even Muhammed Ali, once known as Cassius Clay, also a walking example of the long-term damage of boxing?

Harry is right to retire, only it should have been yesterday, right along with the announcement.
