Did you read about New York's hottest rivalry in this weekend's New York Times 'City Section'? It's some nasty, winner-takes-all stuff, with two powerful, cunning young women locked in a "new millennium battle." (Is it hackneyed to invoke the new millennium in 2005? Oh, well. Nevermind.) Let's get ready to rumble, fight fans!

We're speaking, of course, of the weekly Knockout Queens boxing competition at Mr. Wedge, the Hunts Point strip club, chronicled by Rachel Leifer. Talk about a dirty duel!

We were so knocked out by the article, we didn't read anything else in the section.
