This guy just don't want to win you know. He wants to bury you, he wants to humiliate you, he wants to prove to the whole world that you was nothing but some kind of a... a freak the first time out. - Mickey from Rocky II
Did anyone else hear that bell ringing? It appears the gloves are laced up, the sparring is over and the real fight has begun. In this corner, weighing in at 220 lbs, the Pugilist of Pennsport, the Electric Exocutioner... John "Johnny Doc" Dougherty. And in this corner, weighing in with his opinion on the intricacies of the Home Rule Charter, from the Fighting Fourth Councilmanic District, the Punishing Poindexter... Michael Nutter.
On Tuesday, WHYY's Brad Linder sat ringside for what should prove to be the first of many rounds between these two seasoned combatants. After wiping off the splattered blood, he had this to report.
