The Narration of The End: Cowboy Bebop

One big happy pseudo-family

Taking every advantage of Uberman while I’m still within its napped-grasp, I decided to make Cowboy Bebop the most recent addition to my anime playlist. Before any anime veterans reading stops believing in the me that believes in the you, let me say that I’ve had the pleasure of knowing the Bebop crew before hand. I first watched the series in 2007 and again in 2008, once in English, and once in Japanese. After 2008 I decided to lock all recollection of the Bebop within the deepest bit-locked depths of my hard drive, never to be opened until I was certain it was wiped from natural memory.

Three years later, my brother nit-picking his boredom, Cowboy Bebop was the first chosen to kick-off the nostalgia-filled anime marathon. If you’ve never seen or heard of Cowboy Bebop then I cannot help but shed a tear for your incomplete existence as a human being. In layman’s terms: stop reading these unimportant words and watch Cowboy Bebop, spoilers lie ahead.

World Heavyweight Title Match - David "Cocky Loser" Haye Vs. Wladimir "Dr. Steel Hammer" Klitschko

If you're wondering what kind of ring name "Cocky Loser" is then you must've missed the memo regarding my intense hatred of David Haye. More on that later.
Immediately after one of Haye's fight, he spotted Wladimir in the crowd
and decided to start a little show.
The reason why I bothered to write a post dedicated to this fight is because it's quite possibly the biggest and most anticipated since 1999's Lennox Lewix vs. Evander Holyfield match-up, both boxers held a legendary status and were in their primes too - no fight has compared since. There were, arguably, other fights that could contend like 2002's Lennxs Lewis vs. Mike Tyson bout but both boxers were old and Tyson was a one-dimensional poor reflection of his prime - and Tyson's prime is one that I consider to be the greatest in all boxing history, but that's for another post.

Did I mention that this upcoming fight is a unification match? Haye and Klitschko are putting all their titles on the line, so they have a chance to gain the WBA, WBO, IBF, IBO and The Ring Heavyweight titles. With Klitschko contributing all four of his international titles, in comparison to Haye's single WBA belt. Anyone with half a brain and a teaspoon of honey should be able to predict the outcome of this match.

Now, in light of this Haye and Klitschko news many seems not to know the history between these two men. So In case you're not really much of a boxing fan, and because I feel like blabbering, here's a brief summary of the drama between these two boxers.
