 Andrea Phillips meets Mills Lane, a no-nonsense Nevada judge who's probably the best-known fight referee in the world. |
| Maybe you came to see the jabs, the uppercuts, the roundhouse rights. Maybe you came to see the skilled, scientific footwork of the superbly conditioned athletes. Maybe you came to see some blood. (It takes all kinds.) But we suspect you're here to see the beauties, most of them from the world of pageants. Between rounds, they keep us informed, and sometimes they keep us entertained. Looking at these lovelies makes us weak in the knees, as if we'd been hit by a locomotive left hand from a brawling behemoth. (A leather sandwich and a canvas dessert, as they say in the fight game.) These ladies are all champions, and if any of you disagree about who is the most beautiful, you'll have to settle it among yourselves. Fight fair, please, but don't expect PNB to referee for you. We're staying in this neutral corner. |
