Top Rank BOXING on Versus TV at the Hard Rock Casino. Top Rank thru 23 years so very helpful and nice to this reporter and I appreciate it. This a medicore card with four first round knockouts and a quasi interesting main event with Joshua Clottey (almost word class) taking the main event. I am never for anyone beating up their opponent and this card had lots of that...you always have to play the game. The horrendous rap music between bouts not as bad as usual...maybe Top Ranks Christmas present to me ! The goofiness to this production highlighted by an opening act ring announcer...then out for two hours...then back for two fights after the main event...what is the deal here ? Started close to on time...some nice entertainment with some familiar faces 81 B-.
Off to see Clint Holmes at the Sahara....oh boy! It has been awhile since I have seen this all american talent....it has not faded. Holmes finished a long run at Harrahs, now doing a Christmas type show with piano arranger, ace young drummer, bass and the famulous (Dominick). Dominick did vocals, clarinet, sax and three string insturments...what a talent. But of course it is Holmes show, he with the great voice, super stage presence and all around good guy image....you got to love him....now thru December. Holmes a cancer survivor, broadway show producer to come and Carneige Hall artist (November 7) no second rate performer to anyone. I loved him.
Some Christmas music, some old songs, some new songs and only a few too loud (by Dominick).
A lovely stage set with tree decorations, a spotlight and great sound system....somebody took some time and effort putting together these arrangements and it showed....small crowd for this 9 p m show....hard for hotels to get bodies in this time of the year. Now I get to follow this with the 3 tenors and Johnny Mathis on Friday.
93 A .....6 minutes late for this recommended to anyone songfest.
