The wrestler — having quickly disposed of his first four judomen — stood before the fifth opponent, glaring like a wild animal about to pounce on his prey.
“Boo!” the crowds jeered! “That’s not judo!” “Do judo, not wrestling!” shouted another.
A woman spectator sitting near by commented, "Why do they let those guys in the tournament anyway? They don’t have any technique.”

Myron was glaring at his opponent like a wild animal about to pounce. He was crouching his 200- pound, 5'7" frame, his hands in front of him extended as if to wrestle, his teeth gritting with one dark spot where a tooth had been knocked out.
And the look in Myron’s eyes spelled only one thing: Kill!
