Saturday

He even fought in the Golden Gloves at Madison Square Garden. He told me he was extremely lucky to lose his last fight because if he had won his next opponent would have been Sugar Ray Robinson, who made the guy who beat my Dad look like his face had been run through a meat grinder. It takes a hell of a lot of guts to stand in a ring and trade punches with another person and I don't think Trump has it in him. I think in the next few days and weeks we'll see MTG kick the shit out of him.
