Cyrus Psycho Sykes was standing in the blue corner, his arms draped on the upper ropes, his “PF Boxing” leather jacket on display. Steuke gave a wave to the ring announcer. As Sykes’s name was called as the 147 -pound winner in a walkover, he sauntered slack-limbed to the red corner, Chicky’s corner. Chicky was still in Steuke’s office, and couldn’t hear the half-hearted applause. The Cavazos had left Chicky alone and returned to the arena with a sense of accomplishment. Their cut from working twenty four-round prelim fights wouldn’t be what they got from a fix like this. Trini was proud of how smoothly things had gone. Check and mate, as in jerk and off.

Gots to be slick, gots to be quick.

As Steuke watched Sykes accept his trophy in the ring, someone from the stunned audience shouted, asking what happened to Chicky Garza. Steuke looked away.

Sykes, who had no idea that the fix was in, shouted back, “Chicky Garza got dawg in him, dass what!”

People hooted, but it would be Sykes who moved on to the Nationals, not Chicky.
