That night after the bloody fight his wife humorously busted balls, 'Do I go to his room, or will he be commin'' to mine now?!"

The Bayonne Bleeder, apparently the inspiration for Sylvester Stallone's Rocky character.

Sometime last week I saw a replay of the Ali-Wepner fight. I'm not a fight fan but I was amazed at the pounding Wepner took in that fight and still hang in there. He did manage to knock Ali down (9th?) but was KO'ed in the 15th.
