Anonymous Coward User ID: 43695998 United States 08/08/2013 07:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A burglar who broke into a house and threatened a pensioner with a knife got more than he bargained for when the victim turned out to be a retired boxer who left him bruised and bleeding. Quoting: Person445 Frank Corti, 72, who served with the Royal Engineers in North Africa from 1956-58, dodged the knife and punched Gregory McCalium, 23, twice in the face, giving him a black eye and a swollen lip. He then restrained the attacker until police arrived. Con't @ [link to www.telegraph.co.uk] Getting hit by a boxer is like getting hit by someone with a brick in each hand. I remember a story about former heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey beating up two muggers when he was 76 years old. Boxers retire because they lose their speed and then their chin. However, the punching power is the last thing to leave and that usually never does! |

I hope I retain it like he did |

So I read the article, and when the picture did come in I didn't expect him to be that messed up. Looks like gramps worked him over with a baseball bat! |
