| 0:00.0 | Well, the big mistake I made was not sending the fighters back to the Dreshing Room, |
| 0:04.4 | because we didn't know how long it'd take to end it up to be a 21-minute delay. |
| 0:10.6 | It was cold that night to put blankets on the fighters. Yeah, in retrospect, I should have sent |
| 0:16.0 | them back to the Dreshing Room. The only fighter that I have really seen that took him |
| 0:21.4 | himself so well at a later age was Bernard Hoffman, and I would never be worried about him. |
| 0:28.5 | Probably is in shape today. Spiders are their own worst enemies, sometimes corners and |
| 0:35.6 | parents in the corners. That's a problem, but I would like to see the corners more proactive |

| 1:34.2 | from poor scoring and judging to the bite fight between Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson and the |
| 1:39.2 | rematch to the fan man incident in Bo Holyfield and much more besides. Mark actually has a book |
| 1:46.1 | out called Ringside, and it's always good to hear stories from people who have held different |
| 1:50.4 | positions within Boxing, and I really hope you enjoy Mark's stories about a rich period in Nevada |
