Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

Re: This day in boxing. A look back.
While it's still June 23rd here, it's already June 24th elsewhere.
Anyway........ June 24, 1995. RJJ vs. Yo Vinny Pazienza. Ahhhhhh..... the memory of it still makes me smile.
Yo Vinny would've needed the help of some of Corleone's men to beat Roy that night.
It was a beauuuuuuuutiful mismatch.

I showed my friend that combination at the end and he was in awe. Had to rewind it multiple times for him as he could not believe them.

Why was Vinny Paz on your bad list? He seemed OK.

One of those outsized egos who thought he was God's Gift. Thought he was better than he really was, when in reality he was just a pug. Got a lot of notoriety from his comeback from injury, which of course is admirable, but just made him the bigger-than-life personality he always thought he was. Yo Vinny was a jerk.... and I thoroughly enjoyed his beating at the hands of RJJ.
