Is boxing's Don King down for the count?

Article Abstract:

Boxing promoter Don King is on trial in federal court in New York for wire fraud in connection with a supposedly altered contract that he used to collect $350,000 from Lloyd's of London. The money was allegedly to go to Julio Cesar Chavez to cover training expenses for a cancelled fight, but never got to him. King says he made the claim honestly and that the money was to repay him for loans he had made to Chavez. King's attorney, Peter E. Fleming, says the prosecution is due to King's identity and that federal criminal prosecution is unwarranted.
