To be fair, Huck looks like he smells bad....

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.

I believe anything Yusuf Mack has said, how on earth he won a fight is amazing.

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?
