Harv’s Diner SPORTS MURPHY’S SPORTS LAW

THE BREAKFAST PLACE WORD By David Murphy

brings you SEARCH
Cornwall’s own Tony Luis earned his
Basketball, Hockey, and Baseball Teams 29th professional boxing win in
October when he defeated Ricardo
B K O M X C Z Z A J Z B W C Y B H D H Lara in a unanimous decision. It

S L N P Z Q O Q S R E G D O D U E Q W was Luis’ first match in
Peterborough. Tony’s gutsy
T S A I F Q S B R R L X D F X C A A S
performance earned the
E P E C C A T H L E T I C S M K T G W respect of the webcast
announcers as well as a new
K S R T K K D R S R E G N A R S N T I
batch of fans from central
C S L O A H S P S P U R S T E I G H Z Ontario. A bit of background

A L S A C R A M E N T O K I N G S U A on this fight and you’ll see how
much of a true professional Luis
J A S B Y K I W E N S H L T L G L N R
is. His camp agreed to the match
E T S N Q O I P K N P Z H A C C L D D with two weeks’ notice! That’s

U I H K U C R E A S Z G K S A A U E S r i g h t – two weeks. Not many boxers would
be able to pull off a victory over an opponent who carried a
L P A V C S E C S I I E T S N V B R R
record of 22-5 with 10 KO with only two weeks’ notice. But
B A W T S I I L R L R E R C A A S S O Luis’ between fight regimen of cardio, weight training and time

S C K Q R L R G T S N E J C D L N N T at Champs Boxing Club is why he could get prepared in such
short order. By Luis’ own words, he wasn’t as sharp as he
S T S T E J G E P I N N I W I I I A A
could’ve been. But that’s where his world-class experience
N O E P W G T U V I C G I R E E L I N came into play and Luis made sure to leave the judges no choice

I Q R N E A F N R A A S O G N R R D E to make sure he was the one having his hand raised. Luis is on
a 10-fight winning streak and now owns a record of 29-3 with
U F E I R I X A N M M Y J J S S A N S
10 knockouts. Here’s hoping the year 2020 is Luis’ for the
R M D L B O M R E D W I N G S H M I P taking and he continues to improve on his already impressive
professional boxing record. Cornwall and area will always be
B Q S R X X H H W X C Y N I V U J Z A
in your corner, Champ!

REDS CANADIENS WIZARDS The infrastructure (proper full-time dressing rooms, office
BREWERS MAGIC GRIZZLIES space, etc.) isn’t available to house such a tenant over the long
term. That doesn’t mean an addition to pad 1 wouldn’t be able
