Boxing with Time Travel

I ADMIRE The Namibian immensely and have great respect for its reporters.

For this reason, I usually just have a chuckle or give a twitch of

irritation when I read some of the strange things that happen to

the English language in its pages.

But doesn't this sentence from the back page of the Tuesday 20th

April sound more than a little strange? 'Shileka took out his

opponent in round six, prior to knocking him down twice in the

fifth round.' Is that physically possible? Best wishes.
