The post as you will find it printed below was written by Mr. Devin Bodkin and is tagged "Pool legend dazzles fans at ‍ISU." The prose puts the accent on "Fivetime World Trick Shot Champion Stefano Pelinga," who was at ISU last Thursday night to perform pool tricks for the gathered ISU student population.

Likes where our Dino comes in pallies is that Mr. Peligna boldly and brashly proclaimed that his encouragement to become a billiard's player came from none other then our most beloved Dino! Peligna "as a 12-year-old growing up in Italy, said he regularly watched Martin play pool on television as a child."

In his own words of deep, pure and true Dino-devotion, Mr. Peligna speaks so lovin'ly of our great man....“I like to credit people who have been instrumental in my career, like Dean,” Pelinga said Thursday. “I even boxed for a few years because Dean Martin did. He’s my all-time idol.”

POCATELLO—Fivetime World Trick Shot Champion Stefano Pelinga credits singer Dean Martin for sparking his billiards career years ago.

As a 12-year-old growing up in Italy, Pelinga, who dazzled fans at ‍ISU‍’‍s pool hall Thursday, Feb. 23, said he regularly watched Martin play pool on television as a child.


“I like to credit people who have been instrumental in my career, like Dean,” Pelinga said Thursday. “I even boxed for a few years because Dean Martin did. He’s my all-time idol.”

After slipping into his signature purple vest Thursday, Pelinga performed pool tricks ranging from shooting balls stacked atop water bottles to sinking up to four balls with one shot.....

I wish there was video footage of Deans boxing fights.
I know it`s a brutal sport but I have to admit I do enjoy watching the occasional video of Muhammad Ali or Sugar Ray Leonard.
But seeing Muhammad Ali recently on the news, I agree boxing should be banned along with Steeple Chase races for horses.
I have a very old video of a boxer named Archie Moore fighting the then Cassius Clay and guess who is in front of the audience ?
Wearing his tuxedo ?
