EDITORIAL: In 2016 Rematch, Elorza Beat Snow in the First Round
Tuesday, January 26, 2016
In their first bout in 2015, snow beat new-Mayor Jorge Elorza in every round. Snow pummeled the rookie Mayor and bloodied him throughout the fight.
The snow remained on the streets of Providence for weeks, many areas never got properly plowed, and the fight was declared a knockout. According to the judges, snow beat Elorza in each round of their 2015 mismatch.
It seems like the Mayor trained in between bouts and brought in a new trainer and a new corner man.

One of the basic city services residents expect of a Mayor in the northeast is snow removal and while the 2016 rematch is far from over, let’s give credit to Mayor Elorza for learning from his 2015 beat down and coming back in shape and ready to fight.
Let’s hope the second year Mayor has done enough road work and has the legs and staying power for the entire 2016 fight with the snow.
