OWINGS MILLS, Md. - Former "Wall Street Week" host Louis Rukeyser was KO'd by the Intelligent Bear in the latest round of celebrity boxing. Although the Bear was favored 10-1 (due to Rukeyser being roughly twice his age), few expected such a decisive victory. The Bear went into a frenzy twenty seconds into the bout, pummeling Rukeyser mercilessly, even kicking him in the groin at one point, before the referee stopped the match. "We started sparring, and then he made a wisecrack about gold stocks. I couldn't help it ... I went ballistic," said the Bear.

When asked to comment, Rukeyser just winked, smiled, and spit up a bloody tooth.
