My friend bet $7000 on that fight and Starling clowning on the ropes nearly caused a 24 year old man to have a stroke. And a hear attack. I can't say that he invented any new swear words but he used the standards in combinations that I was previously unaware of.
That whole welterweight scene of the 80s was amazing. You had so many good fighters that some have even been forgotten
Both of my brothers, at different times when they were college age and really couldn’t afford to lose it, bet $1k on football games. Both games came down to the wire as far as the line. Both barely won. Both said you’ve never lived until you’ve sweated through betting far too much on something and watched it unfold. Both said they’d never do it again and haven’t, haha.
