As much as I like a good fight party, I find myself in the minority when the bell rings. I like to hear the instructions when most people start yapping or breaking for a beer.

Does anyone fancy a quote that you remember to this day from the trainer to motivate their fighter?


5. Teddy Atlas to Michael Moorer cell phone in his hands and says “Michael, it’s your son. He wants to know why his dad doesn’t want to be champ anymore.”

4. Roach to James Toney vs Jirov "look JT, you let him outhustle you that round JT you gota put this guy on his ass you hear me JT?"
Toney: "he did, huh..fuck!"

3. Angelo Dundee to Ray Leonard vs Hearns final round "Ya blowin it kid, this is where we separate the boys from the men, ya blowin it!

2. Ritchie Giachetti to Mike Tyson "Mikey...you're lookin for one god-damn shot and its no damn good (He slaps MIke) Mikey you hear me?

1. Rooney to Tyson- when Tyson complains Bonecrusher is holding him.
"What do you mean he's holding you? I don't wanna hear that, don't give me that. Look I want you bent at the knees back behind a good strong jab...and you make him stop holding you."

...Tyson had yes men for him after that fight...
