We all know about "PLAYOFFS?! YOU KIDDIN' ME?! PLAYOFFS?!" and "THEY ARE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE!!!" and "WE TALKIN BOUT PRACTICE!!" in other sports. But there has been some pretty good rants in boxing too.
One recent one that stands out is LATEEF KAYODE after the Tarver fight. The "I AM A STRONG MAN...I **** ON YOU A LOT!!!" rant! Theres some backstory here. When Tarver was announcing for Showtime, he would call Kayode's fights and be extremely critical. Word got back to Kayode, and he took umbrage with critiques.
Boxing is one of the only sports where, if you dont like what a commentator said about you, you can get him in the ring and punch him in the mouth without arrest
. Kayode talked his way into the fight.
The fight itself was nothing special. Tarver was very defensive minded and lost the first half of the fight before dominating the most of the second half. It was a draw. But its what happened AFTER the fight! Kayode, who was certain that he won, went on a hilarious rant against Tarver and Showtime
! It got him a lifetime ban from Showtime!
I cant find it on YouTube, I'll post the link if I find it!
