Post some amusing scenes you've witnessed during fights which came from the cornerteam.
My priceless favourite is Angelo Dundee's hysterically funny rant at the ring doctor during Tyson-Thomas. Between rounds one & two, the conversation, paraphrased, went like this...
Doc: "Pinky, look up at me."
Dundee: "He's alright. He's alright."
Doc: "I know he's alright. Pinky look up at me."
Dundee: *Completely blows his stack* "Well, he's alright! Leave him the fock alone!"
Doc: *Remarkably calm* "Quiet, Angelo. Pinky, look up at me."
Dundee: *Tosses away sponge* "Leave him alone! Leave him alone, God damn it, leave this focking man alone! Jesus Christ! Get away from this man!!!"
Worth looking up on YouTube (I hope they have it).
I thought it was pretty funny listening to Gil Clancy repeatedly shout in vain at an oblivious Foreman to, "hook to the body! Hook to the friggin' body, George!" in round three against Lyle. "George! Do what I'm tellin' ya!"
Amusing, moreso than hilarious, was Teddy Atlas' between-rounds description to Moorer of Foreman...
"Remember what I told ya about an old car? This is an old car. You let him go slow, he can make it down the road. You make him go faster, he's gonna start to fall apart."
