STATISTICAL DEAD HEAT IN TX
I've been saying all day: "Hillary is Jake LaMotta, Obama is Ray Robinson."
Excuse the Russian translation, this is the best clip I could find.
"Hey, Barack -- you never knocked me down, Barack. I never went down."

My grandpa was at that fight. I think that scene was based on the Chicago fight. Grandpa said that he was there that night.
ReplyDeleteGrandpa used to fight, think ghetto, Italian, steel mill, even hotter temper, "fift" grade education. Fists like two steel mallets. He hit me when he was in his 80's, he could hit like freaking train still.
We watched that movie together, it was like a running commentary of LaMotta and his style. We heard about all of them growing up. I don't think we missed a fight growing up. We'd watch em all. I really miss that. That's ghetto too, watching the fights on Friday.
Thanks Pauli for posting that. Next time find two vampires or something equally grotesque to represent those two. Nothing noble like LaMotta and Sugar Ray.
Here's one of the fights

The point about vampires is well-taken. But my overly active imagination gets fixated....
ReplyDeleteAnyway, Hillary just said in her boring victory speech in Ohio "...I refused to get knocked out...." I think the general impression is good.
I hope your grandpa wasn't too fussy about his steak.
I actually watched that clip you posted earlier today.
They didn't have a lot to eat during the depression. Did you like the fights growing up?
