Alright, let’s talk about this Mike Perry fella and his nose, ya know? I ain’t no fancy doctor or nothin’, but I can tell ya, that boy got his nose messed up somethin’ fierce.
Mike Perry, that tough fella… Yeah, he’s one of them fightin’ fellas. You know, the ones that get in that cage and beat each other up. Tough business, that is. He’s from Missouri, or maybe Kansas City, somewhere out there, I reckon. Started drawin’ when he was just a little tyke, they say. Four years old! Can you imagine? Went to some fancy art school, too, and got himself a degree in somethin’ called “graphic design.” Don’t ask me what that is, sounds like city folks stuff to me. Worked for some clothes store, then went off to that big city, New York. But then he got into fightin’.
So, this Mike Perry, he was fightin’ this other fella, Vicente Loo-kay, or somethin’ like that. Down in some place called U-ru-guay. Sounded far away, that’s for sure. Anyways, they were fightin’ hard, real hard. Mike, he’s got guts, ya know? He ain’t no chicken, that’s for sure. He was in there swingin’ and punchin’, but that other fella, he got him good.
They said it was a knee. Yep, a knee right to the nose. Ouch! I bet that hurt somethin’ awful. My old man used to say, “A broken nose ain’t nothin’ to sneeze at,” and he was right, ya know?
That nose, it was a mess, I tell ya… It wasn’t just a little bump. It was broke, bad. All crooked and swollen. Looked like he ran face-first into a brick wall. They said he needed surgery. Yep, surgery. That’s when they cut you open and fix things. Scary stuff, if you ask me. But he needed it, poor fella.
- The Fight: Mike Perry vs. Vicente Luque, down in Uruguay.
- The Injury: A busted-up nose, courtesy of a knee to the face.
- The Fix: Surgery, they had to fix that nose up good.
They did that surgery right quick, too. Sunday mornin’, they said. Guess they didn’t want to wait around with that nose all messed up. I hear tell it went alright, though. They fixed it up, put it back in place. He’s gonna be alright, they say.
Now, I don’t know much about fightin’, but I know this: that boy’s tough. He got his nose broke, but he’ll be back, I reckon. He’ll be fightin’ again. That’s what them fightin’ fellas do. They get knocked down, but they get back up. Just like my old mule, Bessie. She’d get stubborn sometimes, but she always got back up and kept on goin’.
Born September 15th, this Mike Perry… Don’t ask me the year, I ain’t good with numbers. But I hear he’s a good boy, just likes to fight. And that’s alright, I guess. Everybody’s gotta do somethin’. He could be doin’ worse, I suppose. Could be one of them fellas that just sits around all day, doin’ nothin’. But not Mike Perry. He’s out there, fightin’. And getting his nose broke, apparently.
Anyways, that’s the story of Mike Perry and his nose. Broke it in a fight, got it fixed, and he’ll be back, ya know? Tough fella, that Mike Perry. Just hope he keeps that nose outta trouble next time.
So, the next time you see Mike Perry, remember that nose. It’s been through a lot. It shows that even tough fellas can get hurt. But it also shows they can get back up and keep on going. Just like Bessie, my old mule.
That’s all I got to say about it. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go feed the chickens.
