Little Henry has a big one.\u00a0 Should I end the review here and leave it open so that you can draw your own conclusions?\u00a0 Probably not.\u00a0 I\u2019m more responsible than that.\u00a0 Little Henry has a big wish that he has made.\u00a0 He has a friend\u2026a much older friend named \u201cBolie Jackson.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bolie (Ivan Dixon) is a boxer on the tail end of his career, destined to lose and pitted against a younger up and comer that will certainly send him packing in a couple of short rounds.\u00a0 This is not going to be pretty, especially when you figure in that Bolie has broken his right hand right before the fight, making him easy pickings.\u00a0 Only a super wish could stop him from losing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the first round, down goes Bolie and the referee counts, but Henry (Stephen Perry) wishes as hard as he can and time freezes.\u00a0 Suddenly, Bolie\u2019s opponent is on the mat and the count is on ten and we have a major upset.\u00a0 Bolie is back!\u00a0 Holy Molie, way to go Bolie!\u00a0
\nNow, unfortunately Bolie doesn\u2019t believe in magic or wishes.\u00a0 His spirit was shot down a long time ago and his refusal to believe in the magic of a wish reverses his fortune and puts him back on the mat, counted out, and a loser in the boxing match.\u00a0 Remarkably, this situation makes him believe but it was too late.\u00a0 It was too late Bolie!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Overall, this tale was not as good as I hoped.\u00a0 I am a huge boxing fan and I expected more bang for the buck if you will, and I will.\u00a0 You cannot find a bad Twilight Zone tale, and this is not a bad one, but I would say that it was average.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ringside Report\u00a0 Rating:: 7\/10.\u00a0 Float like a butterfly, Sting like Bolie.<\/strong><\/p>\n
