Kassim

There's a great story on former 154-pound champ Kassim Ouma, the subject of a new documentary, in today's Washington Post. Ouma has long been one of boxing's most engaging personalities, and his story --he was a child soldier in Uganda-- is fascinating. The article's author, David Segal, includes some fantastic anecdotes. Among the gems:

He studies the menu and asks the waiter a couple questions he's probably never fielded. Like, "What is asparagus?" and "Can you bring me some boiled milk and sugar?"

The documentary is called "Kassim the Dream."
