    "How did I beat Rocky? I beat him because it was three rounds. There were a hundred guys who might have stayed three rounds with The Rock. But no man in the world was gonna beat Rocky in a fifteen rounder; not Dempsey, not Ali, not anybody. I knew he was going to be champ. I don't think anybody could hurt Rocky. Everytime he hit you, you saw a flash of light. You either grabbed him or moved back, because if he hits you twice you're gone." -Bob "The Big Bear" Girard

    Just thought it was a cool find. Rocky had a broken knuckle in his left hand going into the fight
