Now, Tweek, boxing is a Man sport. There is nothing in the world more Man than boxing. It is Man at his most Man. So when you spar with Ned here, just dig deep into that most Man part of you. (Uncle Jimbo, South Park: Tweek vs Craig)

I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘’Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.'’ (Bernard Hopkins)

Forgot Audley-Sprott was today. Dammit.

was wondering where your picks were...
Its 3pts. Plus you would have been fortunate to get it right, given that Sprott was apparently outboxing him for 11 rounds
