I can't remember the game for sure but that sounds about right. I remember thinking, why's he playing it on the N64...

I had posted this a few years ago. I don't remember the opponent but Hilario Zapata was getting ready in his locker room and noticed he had 2 left shoes.
He suited up as the show must go on and is ko'ed saying that he just couldn't move right.
I can't remember which magazine the story was in but it was bizarrely there.

Making that double stupid. Why would you even let your Father back into your training camp if this was going to be your attitude upon fighting with him as your trainer again?
