for boxing, reserve Master Sergeant Manny Acquaio taking on golden boy Oscar de la Hoya tonight in Vegas.

The army is suspending operations to watch the fight on wide-screen, more or less; "their guns will still be at their sides, should anyone try to take advantage".

Live on pay per view!

I haven't watched boxing since Cassius Clay at the Olympics. I hope it's a good match for the fans.
