  • Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel =?utf-8?Q?M=C3=A1rquez?=

    From Emanuel Berg@21:1/5 to All on Wed Oct 21 00:20:14 2020
    I yank this from IRC - all quotes are from my memory!

    [...]

    <incal> as for less is more, more is more IF the
    more is good. Manny Pacquiao vs Juan
    Manuel Márquez 4 - ~"we have had three
    really good fights already. is this too
    much of a good thing? or is too much of
    a good thing - a good thing?" in this
    case it was, the 4th fight was as good or
    better than 1-3 (or as good, but good in
    a 4th way!)
    (Harold Letterman quote)

    <incal> General Lee's definition of insanity:
    trying the same thing over and over, each
    time getting a different result :)

    <incal> and it was true for these 4 fights!
    they were not the same at all

    <incal> Max Kellerman after the 1st round, fight
    1: "And Juan Manuel has never seen
    anything like it!" Harold Letterman: "Who
    has?" Harold Letterman at the start of
    the 2nd round, after the 1st round in
    the first fight, when JMM had been
    knocked down three times: "Juan Manuel
    Márquez is making the stand of his life,
    because this is the fight of his life"
    Ignacio 'Nacho' Beristáin: "Juan Manuel
    came out very offensively. He thought
    he'd give

    <incal> Pacquiao a boxing lesson. But we realized
    - this was something more than we had
    expected. A bundle of dynamite that
    looked like a Filipino guy". fight 4,
    Harold Letterman: Pacquiao hit Márquez
    with a flush left, and Márquez barely
    blinked! Roy Jones Jr: "Well, he is very
    focused" *chuckle*

    <incal> BTW that comment - you know what I said
    about girls only remembering stuff they
    didn't hear before

    <incal> "a bundle of dynamite that looked like
    a Filipino guy"

    <incal> I've said that to girls, "to the bundle
    of dynamite that looks like a German
    girl", and they LOVE it, somewhat
    surprisingly

    <incal> I guess no one ever said that to them :)

    [...]

    <incal> in boxing it makes sense, you cannot see
    who can punch or not before they do it

    <incal> explosiveness in boxing is a good thing!
    you THROW punches, it was a clean SHOT
