    It might have been the fight against Jimmy Ellis in 1971.

    Was it against Coopmans or Lubbers when Ali looked down at the TV Director and said, "You better get your commercials in now. I can't hold this guy up any longer !"

    I saw Michael Biehn at the Super Bowl in Dallas (Ron Perlman was with him). I just HAD to shout out
    JOHNNY RINGO! Biehn turned around and I couldn't help myself, I shouted "I'M YOUR HUCKLEBERRY".
    He probably heard that a million times, but he was cool, smiled and gave me a thumbs up.

    I actually was in the same college at the same time as Ron Perlman. Probably smoked a bowl of hash with him.

    I believe it was Coopman.

    That reminds me of one: I was at Barclays in Brooklyn for a fight (pretty sure it was Shawn Porter-Andre Berto). I took a break to step outside to get a smoke (I had a pass). There’s a green Jaguar parked on the curb next to a couple of those orange barrels they use to block off parts of streets — this is like 20 feet from the pass entrance, blatantly illegally parked.

    Guy walks past me to get something out of his car. He walks to go back in and I say, ‘Who do you have to be to get a parking space like that?’

    He turns around and says, ‘I guess you gotta be Danny Aiello.’

    And he was!
