I used to love watching boxing. I wish I could remember the fighters. But the announcing booth hyped up one of the fighters as the next great boxer and surefire world champion. I think it was a middle weight bout. So this mega hyped fighter comes out with the huge entourage, making fierce faces and verbalizing to the camera what he was going to do while his music thudded in the background.
Then he got in the ring and was the victim of a flash knockout when he took the first jab of the fight.
It was so much like the SCTV Rocky skit with John Candy where they made this false documentary with John Candy as the underdog, and then got to the fight and hyped it up because Candy just wanted to go the distance with the champ. Then 9 seconds into the fight he gets knocked out and Levy and Flarhety just stare at each other in shock for a minute. It was a brilliant skit
