It started on TV (in Germany) at 4 a.m. - that's why I didn't
watch it either.
But I saw yesterday a few heavy punches; and, afterwards, his brother
Vitali interviewed him - in a rather funny way, though :)
Also saw a short fight excerpt of Ali's daughter Laila

As a double jibe - lesser on her, but stronger on me! On me, as a
reply to my repeated complaint that someone misused my name [and
initials] writing, so to speak, some nasty stuff [trash or s.h.i.t.] so
that a third party reading it would gather that I (FK) was the author.
That's IMO an extreme perfidy :(

There are meanwhile surgery methods to get rid of them.
But nowadays, most girls won't get them anymore because they feel
it's an expression of 'primitive slumming' - rather turning off
in a sexual as well as in a societal sense.
