My head was hurting so bad that, you know, sometimes you just come and say,

that's it. I don't want to go out for the next round because my body was just hurting.

But it's funny how the body, I would say, the body is the army, the mind is the general.

The body will do whatever the mind tells us to do.

I don't care where you come from, because when we get that ring, it's just me and you,

and you've got to find that hung deep inside. But the people finally saw,

and as unfortunately it says, a white kid who could, could fight a little bit.

I said this, I said, do not say in a marketing business, in a PR business,

you sell the sizzle, not the steak. But you've got to be steak because you only get one shot.

Hello, and welcome to Boxing Life Stories with me, Kristik. What happened in the ring after

tasting only good with his child's play compared to that? Still, they've caused harm to this day.

You just, you couldn't take the tears from his eyes or the smile from his face, couldn't you?

I know.

They didn't beat me, they said, well, let's throw you in the back.

And the pavement made me look like Alcompawn.

And if he's going to beat you all night?

His winning, and his, nothing else.

And I'd like to see, my guest this week is the brilliant Ray Boom Boom Mancini.

I'd not spoken to Ray before, but this was a wonderfully enjoyable chat to me.

And thanks to Scott Murray for helping me set it up. Ray was so generous with his time recently.

And if you haven't seen The Good Sun, the documentary about Ray's life,

then you can find it on YouTube. And I think on Amazon, it's well worth checking out,
