00:00:08.840 - 00:00:26.640

Now, Jimmy, you're fighting on the 23rd of the Oakland Auditorium against Ralph McCoy. Now, I happen to know the Ralph McCoy beat you when you were both amateurs, right? That's right. I'll beat me in a Diamond Belt tournament, I think in the year of 1962 in

00:00:26.640 - 00:00:41.080

San Jose. Now, you've been a pro quite a while, and he's only had seven professional fights. What makes you think you can beat him this time? Well, uh, I've been in there with the best. And believe me, it was a pleasure finding the best matter of

00:00:41.080 - 00:00:52.720

fact. Luis Rodriguez, Uh, Curtis Cope, my latest fight. And any time you can travel 10 rounds with the best fighters in the world and don't go down, then you know you ready for anyone? You think you can beat him as a pro? I feel like it

00:00:52.720 - 00:01:09.990

determines the pro. You know, a lot of things has changed. Who was fighting for trophies by the time he beat me? But this time we find for money. See, I'm leaning towards Anyhow, I'm in a little bit because I'm hoping that if he wins quite naturally

00:01:09.990 - 00:01:22.530

and helmet and I would draw much tremendous crowds. Animal Griffin and I would because for the simple reason two years ago, when we had to fight at the Coliseum, we had such a tremendous fight and the crowd was just beautiful. I mean, they enjoyed it. In

00:01:22.530 - 00:01:34.730

a matter of fact, it was a fight. That's something that you, uh like you never seen before. I remind remind you of the twenties and the thirties. And believe me, the public stood up every round. And why not? Just the fight is very much in demand.

00:01:34.730 - 00:01:46.940

So I'm hoping if I can beat because successfully Thursday I say I'm hoping because anything can happen. I could get cut or get a lucky punch, anything. So I'm saying I'm hoping if I beat him accord Thursday night. I like to fight the winner from the

00:01:46.940 - 00:01:58.180

McGriff in and and the helmet faith. And then, if you were to win that one, you're in line for a shot at the champ. If I went there and I should be in line for a champion, although he has other ideas. But I'm I'm quite naturally,

00:01:58.190 - 00:02:11.270

he's smart, He's a smart. I mean, he don't have no good money he might be a too smart, smart enough not to want to fight you. I hope he's not that smart. I hope you didn't go too far in school, though. Uh, well, there's a lot

00:02:11.270 - 00:02:23.850

of possibility and slow down about, I mean, a beautiful fighting. And I'm only two fights away and kind of Macquarie fight and the winner from the in the Helmand fight. I have a lot of confidence in myself, and I know I should beat Buffalo.
