Oh I am too, it was hands down the best Torres moment ever. And it's still as hilarious now as it was then. Few things in boxing have that type of lasting comedic effect.
I'm just saying, if it were me, I probably wouldn't want to translate it because I know I'd forever be remembered as the "water on your balls" guy.
A worthy legacy.:headbang:
:lol1: Im glad he said it. If thats whats really being said in the corner, then translate it.

I see your point, but its HBO, I think they want the translator to be as blunt as possible, besides Lampley curses all the time and says phucking and whatever from time to time.QUOTE]
I dont remember any f-bombs from the Lampster.
hilarious, thats one of my all time favorite HBO quotes. His voice is so weird to begin with and I remember watching that fight and thinking WTF did he really just say that?
I think the fact that Torres actually decided to say it, live on air, was as strange as the quote itself.
I mean, if I'm the interpreter, and I hear that.....I'm going to bite my tongue and act like I didn't catch it.

Why do people hate on Torres for saying this, I noticed Morales trainer trying to lift his trunks, I believe thats what he really was trying to do, so Torres translated correctly if thats the case.
It's not so much a case of hating on Torres, though one could argue you really should omit translating something like that. But it's also the way in which Torres said it, at least it is for me. He said it like he was almost happy about it.
