What happened to him is exactly why you don’t puff out your chest and proclaim that you’re the equivalent of a Quad God. We are all fallible and in this particular example, no one is guaranteed any success ever. That bravado wasn’t fooling me for an instant and this guy was believing his own PR. What’s more it demonstrates abject disrespect and disregard of his competitors which in the long run, never ever serves one well. Even he said afterwards that he was overconfident and perhaps he will learn from this.
And perhaps something was wrong with the ice: it wouldn’t be the first time, but, like a rain-soaked football field, everyone has to play on it to the best of one’s ability.
I wasn’t trying to “mix it up”. I was stating the obvious which the people in my home knew I stated days ago. NBC was more than happy to go along with the self-promotion for ratings and like the Marvis Frazier-Larry Holmes fight all those years ago, they were made to retract all their superlatives, at least for the night. (For those who don’t recall the heavyweight fight I referenced, Marvis was Joe’s son and NBC wanted to start having Friday Night Fights again. Marvis was not in the same class of fighter and was knocked down six times in the first two rounds. Holmes was begging the ref to stop the fight so he wouldn’t hurt the young man whose stupid father had allowed him to fight one of the greatest heavyweights of all time. NBC had heavily promoted this as a clash of two equals. Uh-huh🥺🥺🥺🥺
