Miguel Cotto, of Puerto Rico, left punches Yuri Foreman during the third round of a WBA light middleweight title match Saturday, June 5, 2010, at Yankee Stadium in New York. Cotto stopped Israel's Yuri Foreman in the ninth round Saturday night to win the junior middleweight title in the first fight at Yankee Stadium in more than three decades.

Fighting for his father, who died in January, and for his legion of Puerto Rican fans, Miguel Cotto won the first boxing match at the new Yankee Stadium on Saturday.

His victory came in bizarre fashion, after Yuri Foreman slipped in the seventh round and limped through the rest of the bout. Cotto won the fight twice, taking it for good 42 seconds into the ninth round. While Foreman carried on courageously, fighting and limping simultaneously, it was Cotto who left with the World Boxing Association super welterweight title belt.

Israeli soldiers being attacked on the deck of the Mavi Marmara. Inset: Getzy Markowitz.

I first heard about the Israeli commando counter charge of the now infamous flotilla while waiting to cross the U.S. border from Canada. As my wife and I listened to unconfirmed reports of casualties, I was reminded of a time while at the same U.S. entry port, I waited on queue along side a Red Crescent ambulance in tow. The West Bank-bound vehicle was being donated by a Muslim group in Quebec, and was subjected to a mandatory inspection as any vehicle would that was crossing into the United States.
