Butter being terminated from top rank

and me getting berated by Bob in front of my dad and thousands

at Madison Square Garden and, you know,

being terminated from top rank,

we're probably, you know, two of the lowest points of my career.

Now Shannon, we're in Mississippi in the deep south, with the dreads and everything so naturally you know the good

old boy started in Teddy jumped to his defense obviously.

Now this is, you know, the night before the show,

really or two nights maybe before the show.

They were getting rowdy. I mean really rowdy and it got nasty and he said

let's go outside. End of story is four of them ended up in the hospital.

Two of them were all busted up that didn't have to go to the hospital,

Mark Roberts, we found hiding behind the bush. I grabbed Shannon and then said

let's get the heck out of here. Yeah boxing is full of tons of good guys but there are snakes

around and there always will be

instead it's the nature of the sport because it's the only professional sport where

somebody can walk up the street and say hey I'm a boxing promoter or I'm a boxing manager or I'm a boxing trainer.

So you're going to get that element of person involved in the sport.

Teddy taught me long when I first gave me,

he said, try not to make a match that you wouldn't want to see yourself.

And I always went by that credo.
