As these things go, the media interviews allowed the fighters plenty of time to trash talk their opponents.
I don't know about you, but I wasn't impressed with the verbal jabs from either Spinks or Latimore. In fact, when it comes to tongue lashings, it's no wonder these guys are "junior middleweights."
Which is why I've crafted the "Completely Unofficial 'Show Me in St. Louis' Mad Libs."
Here's the deal. I'll give you the boxer's quotes (minus a few key words) and we'll see if you -- the reader -- can deliver an oratory knock-out better than the contenders.
Directions: Cut and and paste the blue highlighted quotes into the Comments thread and then enter into the blank spaces in ALL CAPS the words you'd use if you were in their shoes. (See my example in the Comments thread as well as the original quotes.)
