Boxing, Jerry Orbach, and Spring, finally.
Good fight tonight on the Deuce. Kid named Ebo Elder, 17-1 but hadn't fought in 2 1/2 years after a big 1st round knockout loss, beat an undefeated prospect named Oscar Diaz, who was stronger and bigger. Diaz never seemed to have much offense going, except for the second round and the last, when he went on the offensive as it became clear he wasn't going to win the fight. Elder pretty much had carte blanche throughout the fight, peppering Diaz with whatever he felt like hitting him with. Nice story too, as Elder had been estranged from his dad, who is his trainer, but they reunited for the fight. It'll be interesting to see if he shows up down the line.
Flipped back and forth between the fights and the hoops. I hate Duke. Just wanted to get that out there.
Jerry Orbach might be hanging up his gun and shield on Law And Order.

NEW YORK - It may be time for a less stressful job for Detective Lennie Briscoe.
Veteran "Law & Order" actor Jerry Orbach is likely to leave the hit NBC drama after this season, his 12th as Briscoe, according to industry sources who would not speak for attribution on Friday.
Orbach may not venture too far professionally: he's reportedly in line for a job in the fourth installment of the crime franchise, "Law & Order: Trial By Jury."
That series is expected to join "Law & Order," "Law & Order: SVU" and "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" on the NBC schedule next fall.
Orbach has portrayed Briscoe since 1992, the show's third season. It's still going strong in the ratings for NBC, and reruns are also a hit on cable's TNT.
"Law & Order has a 15-year track record that (series creator and executive producer) Dick Wolf never comments about casting changes during the season," said Neil Schubert, a spokesman for Universal Studios.
Not that we need more L&O on the tube, but if it gets ratings for NBC, it's certainly better then reality TV.
Nice day today, sun was out, and it was in the mid-sixties this afternoon. Had the windows open in the living room, which is also nice.
More boxing tomorrow night, and hopefully UConn in the Final Four.
