    I was going to say you may wake up with half your vocabulary still in tact.
    BTW how did you do in your rematch?? Did you move laterally instead of straight back against that big dude?

    Yeh first round i moved around was boxing on him but he started to hodl back and not commit so hard to hit so in the second i let him come forward abit and counterpunch him, then in the third my trainer told me to go for it so i threw punches and forced him back around the ring and just kept punching and got the decision was very happy with myself, now got a National Tournament coming up.

    Sorry mate I forgott to tell you the caveat.

    In order to get your $10 000 000 you must last as long as Michael Spinks.

    If you fail even by one second you get nothing.

    An amateur did once take a bet that he could last longer against Georges Carpintier than Bombadier Billy Wells had, and he won it.

    You could do what the guy did to last 4 rounds with John L. Sullivan did

    a combination of clinching falling and moving taht would last 91 seconds

    For 10 million I would try. I dont think Im big enough to keep Mike off of me, but maybe I could whisper in his ear in the clinches what the deal was and he would play along? :D

    Could work in theory.

    What about 90 seconds with the Jack Dempsey of Toledo with those 5 oz gloves?

    What about taking a body shot from Bob Fitzsimmons with those 4oz gloves?

    Would you be up for these for the right money?

    Im afraid not.

    He gets the $10 000 000 if he stops you in under 91 seconds.

    Awesome great win. Sometimes you have to outhink your opponent, especially when a guy is bigger than you.
    Just remember dont move straight back when you get rushed by an opponent step to the side, opens everything up. You dont have too much time to make adjustments in a three four round fight, but seems like you did a great job, well done.

    Dempsey i thought liked to guage his opponents to start with and move around see what they did, that would work in your favour if you was only lasting 91 seconds i reckon i would give it ago.

    Fitzs he was more of a counter puncher so i would really just run from him.

    Thanks, was hard to win like really had to grit in.

    You'd have to give him half.
