Saturday’s fight went down (and out) like this: Overmatched fighter (Puerto Rican welterweight Kermit Cintron) flails hard for two-and-a-half rounds, lands a lucky punch, surprises everyone including himself, trips, falls out of the ring, gets carted away like Stiller after zipping his beans above the frank in “There’s Something About Mary” and loses.

Arizona passed an immigration-enforcement law last week making it justifiable for police to stop and demand documentation from anyone they suspect of being an alien “if reasonable suspicion exists” that they are in the state illegally.
