Afterwards Marv was very complimentary to Mike for his performance in those first 11 rounds. He said:


"It was my pleasure, and my privilege, to welcome Colbert here to Boston, he's someone whom I've always personally admired, perhaps more deeply, more strongly, more abjectly than ever before. A man... well, more than a man, a god, a great god, whose skill is so totally and utterly wonderful my feeble jabs and hooks are wretchedly and pathetically inadequate. He's someone whose boots I would gladly lick clean until holes wore through my tongue, a man who is so totally and utterly wonderful, that I would rather be sealed in a pit of my own filth than dare share the same ring with him again."

 

ps. This was done to bring old Red back. I miss the crazy *******.

 

True. Although the quote was my little joke. I don't really think Marv would say "I'd rather be sealed in a pit of my own filth than fight Colbert again". Then again...
