HBO Commentary trivia!!

Sadly...

I watched every minute of that awful game too.

::

 

Merchant (rough estimate):

"It's like a big dog against a litle dog."

 

In which fight did Foreman said this?

"If my wife did the method of visualization, I'd get up and run out the room."

 

a true glutton for punishment you are. though i admit i couldnt pry myself away either. ::

the only good thing that came out of that game is that the low score allowed me to win my office pool by virtue of tiebreaker. everyone else i was tied with had 40 and over. I picked 31 and was worried it was too low

Chavez-Taylor I

 

Larry Merchant (rough estimate):

"Riddick Bowe is showing a lot of cheek in this fight."

 

Larry Merchant (classic quote):

"He'll bite ya, he'll punch ya...he'll bunch ya."

 

WTF! ::

Somebody please answer this one.

 

Golota-Nicholson?

 

I thought that game was great. I was rooting for a double shut-out. ::

 

I believe so, though the bite was actually against Po'uha.

Golota inspired a lot of Merchant quotes.

"Would you say he pole-axed him, Jim? No you wouldn't."

"No, but if you want to Larry...you know...have at it."

 

A couple of hints: He was talking about how a fighter's wife visualized with her husband on what was going to transpire during his next fight.

 

NOPE...

REED:nono:

 

But it was a Jones fight, right?

 

"One is a rose that grew out of concrete, the other is a rose that grew from a rice paddy."

- Larry Merchant

 

Morales-Pac?

 

Yep

First fight. Terrible analogy by Merchant.

 

Indeed. I actually couldn't remember if it was the 1st or 3rd fight. But yeah, the comment was almost up there w/ Lampley's take on Allah.

 

Merchant: "They make like the way they look... I just don't like the way they look TOGETHER."

 

Yeah, it WAS an RJ Fight just Not Roy-Telesco...


REED

 

Roy Jones Jr. and Derrick Gainer?

 

Jones-Woods?

 

in a fight? ::

 

Roy Jones-Derrick Harmon?

 

you predicing mine or REEDs?

(if mine, it's wrong, though right weight class)

 

Hopkins-Tarver?

 

:bears:

 

Ding,Ding,Ding!!!...

After the Big Booty Females Do their Routine, Roy Levitates Up Out of a Box, Merchant Go's into "Bitchy, Old Fart" Mode & George Replies, "Hey, Don't Hate the Player, Hate the Game"...


REED::

 

Larry Merchant: "Which one are you going with? Your head or your gut?"

Harold Lederman: "I haven't seen an exhibition of boxing like this since Willie Pep"

 

Here's one:

Foreman "Oh, he broke his leg."

Lampley "Don't be..." (I think his next word was probably going to be stupid/ridiculous.)

 

Lewis-Grant!
