"Said by Larry Merchant during John Ruiz vs. James Toney fight:
"so far this isn't quite the jab and grab greco roman koala bear holding python strangling ruiz we're used to seeing."
:boxing:
Larry says of Oscar de la Hoya:
"He's like a debutante' with a knife in her purse."
Larry before the Mosley vs. Margarito fight: "Here we are in Margaritoville."
Shannon Briggs Lenox Lewis fight:
Big George: "Every tick that passes is a tick in Shannon Briggs favor."
Shannon gets floored with an overhand right.
Larry Merchant: "That wasn't in Shannon Briggs favor! That was more than a tick!"
Big George: "That was a tock!"
Danny Jacobs post fight ring interview after the snowcone (aka Chavez Jr.) quit and the fans were pelting the ring with whatever was at hand:
"I'm from Brownsville! I never ran and I never will.. but I am gonna duck these beer cans!"
Or how about when he passively told B-Hop
"You think anyone wants to see this fight again?"
"Well it looks like you got paid tonight for not doing much."

"that whale was just harpooned"
Also I remember kirk johnson looking super fat back then but watching it now he seems almost average. A lot more fat heavyweights these days
even john ruiz was known as fat back then but now he seems pretty normal for a heavy, he doesnt even have a gut that sticks out, just that he was soft and didnt have lean abs
He also talked about Vitali's "eye opening" performance :lol1:
