Those were the words Teddy Atlas said to Alexander Povetkin in order to motivate him during his fight against Ruslan Chagaev, which Povetkin won. This content is protected
i definitely believe in magic, especially where boxing is concerned. i mean, Loma caused Rigo to disappear
Because of how monumentally absurd and corny it was, with a splash of epic, too, this is my all time favorite corner interaction! Love it. I've been saying Teddy needs to be taken out to pasture for years, no fan of him at all, but I'm not being sarcastic here. Started laughing and also fist pumping hard when I watched this live (one of the handful of Epix fights at the time, right?)
I love that moment. Atlas was making me cringe big time and ive always wondered how well it was interpreted to Povetkin but it was like something out of a movie. And he won.
