Why is there no discussion here about the Paralympics?  I got back from
Barcelona yesterday and it's as popular and as competitive as the Olympics.
I went along on three evenings - Friday through Sunday - and saw at least
25 world records broken.  We're talking 100m in 10.8 seconds for amputees
here, plus things like 4 seconds being taken off the 200m B2 (heavy visual
impairment) record.  They had to close the gates for a while at the Montjuic
stadium on Sunday because it was full (65,000 capacity) - plus the sports
hall, the swimming pool and the football pitch were overflowing.  You can't
tell me disabled sport isn't popular.

In case anyone's at all interested, the current standings are something
like this:

1) USA
2) Germany
3) Great Britain
4) France

I'll post medal tallies (if I can get them) to these groups.  In only four
days GB has got 60 medals which is more than the entire GB Olympic team.

Hector Macho Camacho vs. Julio Ceasar Chavez
Sept 12, 1992
Las Vegas Nevada

This fight has been billed as two undefeated fighters, yet Camacho has 1 defeat
that being against Greg Haugen. The WBO under the influence of Don King has
decided to call that loss a "no contest" therefore Camacho remains undefeated.
This no contest resulted because of a failed drug test by Greag Haugen after
the fight. Since few intelligent boxing fans and media personell take the WBO
serious, as well as Don King, Camacho is still listed with 1 defeat.

Speaking of King, he is promoting both fighters. Sounds strange, but according
to Don King on the Arsenio Hall show, "This is America", meaning there is
nothing wrong with promoting both fighters and shouldn't be considered a
conflict of interest or anything like that. uh...yep...

Anyway back to the fight. How can Camacho win? By running. The entire key to
this fight is Can Chavez catch up to Camacho? If Camacho runs outa gas as he
did against Haugen both times, Chavez will destroy him. If he can keep on the
outside, dance, display his fast hands, as well as his feminine gestures,
Camacho will frustrate Chavez and the fans but will win the judges vote. This
could be an estremely boring fight!

BUT....If Camacho cannot run for more that ten rounds, Chavez will easily
destroy him like he has all runners such as Lonnie Smith and Frankie Mitchell. 
Chavez has done a great job in cornerin the runners. If (and when) he get
Camacho watch for the Nacho man to lay down in defeat.

So dont expect to see a great sluffest. Camacho dont play that. Camacho will
run faster and harder than he did against Mancini. And if his legs dont fail
him he will shock the people who put him at a 4 to 1 underdog. But if he cant
run for 12 rounds, look for Chavez to beat the living crap out of him! Chavez
may not land as many punches as Camacho when they finally stand in the corner,
but his one pinpoint shot will be more devestating than Camachos 6 pitty-pats
to the body, shoulders, and head.

My prediction is Camacho will run outa gas, get caught in the corner, get hit
with a big punch and then Chavez will use his Mexican left hook to the body to
start the slaughter of Camacho. 

Chavez wins by KO in the 11th round.

The only real winner in this fight will be Don King since one of his fighters
will win the fight as well as the dress maker for Camachos outfit.

Subject: Hodkinson stops Benichou to keep featherweight title
Organization: Computer Science Department, Stanford University
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 1992 19:59:32 GMT

	BLAGNAC, France (UPI) -- Paul Hodkinson decked Fabrice Benichou in the
fourth round and survived an eighth-round scare before stopping the
challenger in the 10th round Saturday to retain his World Boxing Council
featherweight title.
	Benichou, the reigning European and former world junior featherweight
champion, bled profusely from a cut mouth. The cut upper lip was opened
by a left-right combination, prompting referee Frantz Marty to stop the
bout. Claims by the Frenchman's corner that the injury was caused by
Hodkinson's head were overruled and the 28-year-old Englishman was
declared the winner.
	Hodkinson led on two judges' cards and the third had it even after
nine rounds of the scheduled 12-round bout.
	Hodkinson improved to 21-1-1 and Benichou dropped to 33-12.
	Benichou looked as if he was beginning to succumb to Hodkinson's
consistent power and accuracy by the sixth but made a remarkable
comeback in the eigth. A series of lefts followed by a hard right
staggered the champion. Hodkinson survived the round and regained
control in the ninth round.
	Benichou, a 27-year-old former circus trapeze artist, was sent to a
knee by two rights in the fourth round and took heavy punishment through
the seventh.
	Hodkinson is due for a mandatory defense against top-rated Kevin
Kelly by the end of the year, but he would rather fight fellow Briton
Colin McMillan next.
	Hodkinson weighed 125 3-4 for the second defense of the title he won
from Mexican Marcos Villasana last November. Benichou was the division
limit of 126.

Papers in Houston say Chavez will fight Haugen in December. I have always
thought alot about Haugen from a fighting perspective, but in the brains
department, he rates close to a 2 by 4. Based upon Chavezs boxing and brawling
lesson he gave Camacho, who extended Haugen in two very close fights, Haugen
should ask for a shit load of money cuz he is in for a good old ass whipping.

Unlike Camacho who was scared to mouth off about Chavez, Mexico, or Mexicans,
Haugen doesn't have enough sense to know when to be scared. (I wouldn't
consider anyone very bright that smoked dope prior to a major fight) Haugen, in
true low class style, will start the trash talk early on. Chavez will wait
until the start of the first round of the fight and then administer a beating
to close Haugens mouth. If Haugen was smart (and if grasshoppers carried 45s,
birds wouldn't f*ck with them....), he would watch the Chavez/Camacho fight
again and notice the crowd which was composed of 99% Chavez fans. This will be
the scene once again when this is fought in Las Vegas. Although Haugen claims
LV as home and he did have a favorable crowd when he fought Camacho, the tables
will be turned for a few reasons, 1) Haugen fans in LV are smart enough to know
he is in for a butt kicking 2) Not many people like Camacho 3) Chavez is no
Camacho and 4) The Mexican Nationals will once again sell out the center to
watch their national hero.

It once again will be an entertaining fight not from a boxing perspective, but
from a "You deserve a butt kicking, you will get one, and the crowd will want
more" perspective. I see it going into the 8th or 9th with Chavez administering
a beating to Haugen in retaliation for him shooting his mouth off. Chavez will
then KO him.

Chavez, who is typically a very slow starter, was the agressor from
the opening bell

Chavez sent the message in round 1, that Camacho was not going to 
have much of the ring to work with. Chavez was cutting off the
ring and working the body to precision

Camacho was not jabbing, but it is hard to do that while
moving backwards at a fast pace!
In the third and fourth rounds Camacho did land some decent shots
but Chavez walked right through those punches and gave no respect to 
Camachos (lack of) power.

It was all Chavez from then on. Chavez put on a clinic on how to
work the body and the head. The Announcers said Chavez was hitting
Camacho like he was the heavy bag in the gym.

By the Eight round Camachos left eye was swollen like a grapefruit,
and by the tenth, it was closed. Camacho also had a pretty nasty cut 
over his right eye, and some welts on his sides from the body punches.

This was an ass kicking like none ever before seen.

After the fight, Chavez told camacho in the ring that he would not
refer to him as "feminine" any more. Sure, he stood in there for
12 rounds and still knew his name, I guess thats about the best
compliment Chavez could pay.

It was a just another day at work for Chavez and the Mexican country
can be proud of this man, he is an incredible boxing machine
I can't see anyone stopping him from becoming 100-0

Next for Julio Chavez...Greg Haugen and Pernell Whitaker, and maybe
they say another chance for Camacho, yeah right

   What defines "casual water".  Can an extremely rain soaked sand 
   qualify as "casual water" even though there is no liquid on the
   surface of the sand.  What about if the water is visible when 
   you stand in the sand but then disipates in a few seconds.

Definition:

  ``Casual water'' is any temporary accumulation of water on the
course which is visible before or after the player takes his stance
and is not in a water hazard.
  Snow and natural ice, other than frost, are casual water or loose
impediments, at the option of the player.  Manufactured ice is an
obstruction.  Dew and frost are not casual water.

I'd say if you don't SEE water (dampness doesn't count) then it's not
casual water.  If you SEE water for a few seconds when you take your
stance I'd say that is casual water.  [I don't know if there are any
specific decisions regarding this rule, though---just my own
