- Finally found some moments to upload some new content here on tedlerner.com, all of which you can check out as it spins up and down in the features section just above. I was lucky enough to be ringside doing the tv commentary for the Brian Viloria-Carlos Tamara world title fight here in Manila Jan.23rd and I've found some youtube video of the incredible last two rounds. Mika Immonen's awesome run to the World 10-Ball Championship in Manila is captured in my feature article in the Jan, 2010 issue of Billiards Digest magazine. And Saipan based author Joe Race is back with a tale of the Trung Sisters of Vietnam. Now these are some serious sisters I'd like to meet! Thanks Joe!--Ted aka "Hey,Joe"
