    When someone is talking about a knockout artist (Tyson in particularly) and they say, "I went to the fridge for a beer and the fight was over when I came back".

    I see many people say this in the literal sense. No one sits there watching the entrances, the introductions and face off & then decides to get off the couch for a beer as soon as the referee gives the signal to start the fight.

    It’s also displays collossal arrogance to think that in a tight fight your scoring is so accurate that there isn’t a chance you made one mistake.

    It could have gone either way despite losing 8-9 rounds.

    To this day I want to skull **** Kellerman for making that “story of the fight” comment.

    What a ****.

    He winds me up so much when he talks. The way he slobbers all over certain fighters makes me feel sick.

    You know it's bad when Stephen A. Smith seems like the rational man in a conversation.

    Boxing is the art of hitting and not getting hit.
    No, it is not.

    "I've had a good camp..."
    Apart from the injuries, family tensions, sh1tty mood, disagreements with the coach and tax problems....
