Burglar Thwarted by 72-year Old Ex-boxer

In a lopsided fight that even Don King would have had trouble promoting, a burglar in Oxford, England, got more than he bargained for when he broke into the home of Frank Corti, a 72-year-old former junior boxing champion.

You have to love a story like this! And the young man even had a knife!

Just because we are old, doesn’t mean we can’t defend ourselves. Considering many of us “old farts” have military experience and, perhaps, some pugilist experience like this gentlemen.

Assumption can be a death sentence. ;-)

Am I using the search wrong? I put the title of the article in the search box and came up with nothing. What did I do wrong?

You may have forgot to change the pull down menu from KEYWORDS to TITLES.

I have made that mistake more than once.

I like this "After" view best: this perpetrator looks good with a black eye and a smashed mouth. It suits him.

Looks like Mr Corsi softened him up with a few lefts, and then hammered him big time with his right. Check out the ring piercing in his lip! (wince) Oooow -- That's gotta hurt! It will be a few days before he can take that ring out.

(Memo to self: never bring facial piercings to a boxing fight).

Check out the knuckle marks, too: 1,2,3,4 starting at the eye socket and finishing just south of the cheek-bone. It looks to me like he blocked at least three solid rights with his face.
