It was now a minute before the bout between Lefty Louie and Bonecrusher Rocco. Both fighters were in their corners. Louie’s manager, Al, offered his last words of advice: “Remember, Louie, the bigger they are…”
Bonecrusher was big all right. Huge head, bull neck, barrel chest, massive right hand, and a 15–0 record, all by knockouts.
“Got it, Al. The bigger they are, the harder they fall.”
Al added a few more lines of disbelief to his face. “What’d you mean, Louie?”
“Fall, Al. The bigger they are, the harder—”
“No, Louie, hit. The bigger they are, the harder they hit.”
Bonecrusher great name. Love this one.
Great story. Hope he didn’t fall too hard!
HA! Lots of truth in that version of an old saying… may he be David to Bonecrusher’s Goliath!
