Naz before the kevin kelly fight
my recollection was : "I can honestly say, without any shadow of a doubt, that you are gonna get knocked SPARK out!"
to which Kelley replied, "I'm gonna smoke your boots"....
At the time you really believed Naz - who as a person I don't have any time for prsonally - but my did Kelley have other ideas......I was rooting for the underdog in all honesty, i.e. KK, at 4am on radio 5 Live, when Naz went down I thought, "lucky punch"........when he hit the deck the second time the Englishman in me sat the fck up out my bed and said "COME ON NAZ!!!"
Well, i could have also looked on you tube to get it word perfect.......
DD
Great line by Naz and Kelly did get sparked in his home town

I thought someone would have mentioned Willie Pastrano by now. Between rounds against José Torres (I think), he was asked by the concerned ringside Doctor "Do you know where you are?" His classic response:
"You're damn right I know where I am! I'm in Madison Square Garden getting the sh!t kicked out of me!"

garry took out a photo card to sign for her and as he was doing so the bird said
"garry can i say how come you don't look like a boxer" and quick as a flash garry replied "because im good love" everyone around us was just cracking up

Thats right and in the same post fight interview when asked by Harry Carpenter why he was so eager to dart over the ring to KO Bumphus, Honeyghan said "I dont get paid for overtime"

Mark Krence after his Prizefighter first fight win, he said " I got a round of Fuc*s in the corner". This prompted a stampede of "Excuse the language" from poor old Adam Smith and the ringside reporter.
