Question
I was watching a tape of the ESPN fight with
Omar Shieka from New Jersey. The tape finished in the sixth round as I should gone 2 1/2 hours instead of two hours.
So what happened? Was Shiekas' face cut up again?
I appreciate your help.

Answer
Hi Jery,,
I've done the same thing while taping boxing matches before!

In this case, you didn't miss much, as Sheika went on to win a decsion in a rather uneventful bout. Most people were expecting a slugfest, but that never developed.

Thanks for writing, Jerry :)
