    How great are them "poems" at the end of 24/7 episodes??

    The way Liev Schreiber ends them 24/7 epsidodes is just amazing..It's like boxing poetry...I don't know if it would technically be called a poem, but the words are touching at the end of them episodes.. And very inspirational.. Anyone else agree??







    "Balance can be among a boxer's most critical assets.

    The willingness to embrace affection, flanked by the discipline to moderate its interference. Recognition of the value of relaxation alongside the need to prepare for infinite possibilities. Anticipation of glory and fame, matched by acknowledgement that the beauty of this dance is rooted in brutality.

    If every fight has a unique choreography, the preceding months and weeks can unfold in familiar patterns. Invevitably, there will be difficult stretches where the steps are complex, challenging junctures where support is paramount. And then also, moments when the splendor of simple precision begets a sense of perfection.

    All fighters inevitably travel this uneven road. The very best somehow balance themselves along the way."

            Mayweather and Marquez/Hatton's ending had the best narration. Liev Schreiber sounds different compared to his interviews lol.

                Basically, that dude good with them words, y'nah'sayin', but they should let The Punisher get them final thoughts out for the fans, y'nah'sayin'. Lemme get a crack at it, I know how to, y'nah'sayin', get that emotion involved.

                  of all the 24/7s that aired, none of the endings came close to this one

                  i had this up on my ******* back then even for a few months after the fight

                  the message, the music, the buildup, the fact that they were both undefeated, good vs bad boxer.... and the overall message, it will never be topped.

                    All the intro/outro monlogues in 24/7 are hilarious, they come off as a really poor attempt at being philosophical and insightful but they're not; they're superficial, generic and not intelligent at all. The guy[s] that write them obviously stuggle every time the make an episode/series cause their material is getting thinner and thinner.

                    Some of them are hilarious, like "magical book of immortality".
